Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: 1.6.2 Build 20240308 Rel.55841

Hello, I bought 4 Deco M4 Mesh WLAN devices, and they work well so far. After running a WPS WPA Tester & Wi-Fi Scanning app on my Android device, I realized that WPS in enabled on the Deco's. I was unable to find an option to disable it, where can I do so?

(I am not using WPS and nobody should in my humble opinion, it's very unsafe and anybody with the right app can read out the WLAN passphrase in seconds without the use of handshake capture, dictionary attack or brute force.)

Hi,

 

WPS on Deco works when you enable it manually: How to enable WPS function on Deco.

 

Please also test again and check if it is Deco's WPS or other devicess' WPS is enabled.

Is this a bot replying or did you just not really read my question?

Hi, Since there is no physical button on the Deco M4, the WPS feature is enabled by default but it is not activated until you press the software "WPS" button(120s after activation) on the Deco APP. The connection security has been tested and no devices can connect to Deco if not pressing the software button

Thank you very much and best regards.
