To connect to a WPS-enabled router, press the WPS button on your router or access point. Press and hold down the Wi-Fi button on your product for 3 seconds.
Note: You will need to press and hold the WPS button on the wireless router for about 2-3 seconds. After a short period of time, your device and the wireless router will be connected.
Press the WPS button on the router to establish a connection. Depending on the router and the home configuration, it may take a few minutes to connect. NOTES: Most routers have a light that flashes while the connection is established. Once a successful connection is made, select OK.
Note: To check if your router is WPS-enabled, look for a button labeled WPS on your router or access point. If there is no hardware button, there may be a virtual WPS button in the software for the device. Check your network product documentation for details.
When you press the WPS button, the router begins looking for compatible devices. If it finds any devices looking for a WPS-enabled router to connect to, the two will automatically pair up.
For example, on their popular TP-Link Archer AX20, the WPS button is also on the back of the router, but it has two functions: a short 1-second press on the button activates WPS, while a long press (two seconds or more) turns on and off the Wi-Fi.
With the Router powered on, press and hold the WPS/RESET button (more than 10 seconds) until the SYS LED becomes quick-flash from slow-flash. Then release the button and wait the Router to reboot to its factory default settings.
Did the WPS process time out? The WPS light will continue to flash and the router search for devices for up to 2 minutes. If it doesn't connect successfully in that time, it will usually reset and you will need to press it again to try a new connection.
The WPS process should automatically disable itself after you have connected one device and, as I already mentioned, it's usually on a timer, so it will turn itself off without any input after a couple of minutes.

Restarting your modem and router should be the first thing you do when encountering an internet signal issue. Don't skip this step!

Wireless networks with WPS enabled are highly vulnerable to cybersecurity threats. Attackers can easily target the WPS function to steal network passwords, regardless of how complex the password is.
WPS makes it easier and a bit quicker. There are some different ways to do it. First of all, WPS can be a workaround for connecting to Wi-Fi without a password. To do so, you should hit the WPS button on your router to enable device detection.

WPS is a way to connect a wifi device to a router without having to select the network name and enter a password. Normally you press the WPS button on the router, it blinks and then you activate the WPS procedure on the device. So that light would normally shut off when you aren't trying to use it.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) (White/Amber) - The Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ LED blinks slowly for two (2) minutes during Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS). It will be solid white for five (5) seconds to indicate a successful connection. The LED blinks amber if the WPS process fails. Make sure the client device supports WPS.
The blinking red WPS light usually means a session overlap or failed connection. There may be a device out there that is continually broadcasting for a WPS connection. It may not be yours but a neighbors.
WPS works by allow us to join a wi-fi network without needing to know the network password. You simply push the WPS button on the router, join the network and you're in. Unfortunately, WPS is horribly insecure and can be used as a means for attackers to gain access to your network. This is why we disable WPS.
Wi-Fi® Protected Setup (WPS) is a built-in feature of many routers that make it easier to connect Wi-Fi enabled devices to a secure wireless network.
As with any document the procedures can only work if they are used correctly in accordance with the parameters detailed. As per the PQR the WPS is company dependent and never expires.
