connect by pushing the button on the router

What makes WPS PINs very easy to bruteforce, rather than check the entire eight-digit PIN at once, the router checks the first four digits separately from the last four digits.

PIN: The router has a eight-digit PIN that you need to enter on your devices to connect.

Who ever could reach that button could connect to that wireless, even if they didn’t know the Wi-Fi passphrase. WPS Push button connect seems largely secure, but, the vulnerability of using this way is on that button. This is (look alike) more secure, it won’t be active and available to exploit all the time. Devices can only connect with this method for a few minutes after the button is pressed or after a single devices connects.

After trying to connect you device to router, you can simply push WPS physical button on the router, usually located on back.

PBC (Push Button Connect): As i explain earlier, WPS has a physical push button.

There two different methods how WPS works: Finally, the two devices will exchange information and the device will connect. Then put the device you want to connect in the WPS state area (by selecting it on your device like smartphone, tablet, etc), then press the WPS button on your router/modem. When you are connecting a device that supports WPS, you have the option of using WPS instead of entering the WiFi Password. WPS has an “ push button” to connect Wireless devices to your router. Wi-Fi Protected Setup was a nice idea, but using it is a mistake. WPS works only for wireless networks that have WPA Personal or WPA2 Personal security. WPS lets you join a secure WiFi network without selecting the network name and entering the password, it tries to make connection between a router and wireless devices faster and easier.
