Has anyone figured this out?
ps: the article people refer to in other threads says all three methods are used, so please don't contradict what Netgear by saying PIN mode isn't used. Sure, we can't enter or change the PIN, but the router seems to have the code to support it running 24/7 (the router will respond to a PIN request my WiFi tool is probing). And it's the WPS protocol that is hackable, not by the brute force method which Netgear says they defend against.
Ideas?
