大多数路由器都有一个特殊功能，允许任何带有Wi-Fi的设备使用密码进行连接。它称为WPS或Wi-Fi 保护设置^{(Wi-Fi Protected Setup)}标准。虽然Android中已删除对WPS的支持，但^(WPS)Apple设备上从未出现过WPS 支持，但 Windows 10 操作系统仍然支持它。在这篇文章中，我们将分享Wi-FI Protected Setup以及如何使用它进行连接。

什么是 Wi-Fi保护设置^{(Protected Setup)}或WPS

虽然您可以使用密码连接到任何路由器，但这意味着共享密码。如果您不想共享密码，  WPS是您的最佳选择。从技术上讲，它是Wi-Fi Alliance创建的网络安全标准。它允许路由器暂时向通过WPS请求连接的设备开放。一旦设备连接，该安排是永久性的。在此过程中，Router会生成一个唯一的密码，该密码与路由器密码不同。每次连接到网络时，设备都会自动使用相同的密码。

优点：^(Pros:)

• 无需共享路由器密码，连接更舒适^(Router)
• WPS中使用的密码与路由器密码不同

缺点：^(Cons:)

• 并非所有设备都支持 WPS
• 容易受到暴力攻击

注意：^(Note:)此功能现在在所有路由器上都可用，只需按一下按钮，设备就可以加入Wi-Fi网络。只有当路由器^(Router)使用安全协议WPA Personal或WPA2时，才可以启用WPS 。

哪些操作系统支持WPS，哪些不支持？

Windows 10 仍然支持WPS，但  由于存在安全漏洞， Android和苹果的 iPhone 和 macOS 甚至都不推荐它。

如何使用WPS将设备连接到路由器

在路由器上激活 WPS^{(Activate WPS on Router)}

1. 使用WPA Personal 或 WPA2^{(WPA Personal or WPA2)}配置受密码保护的 Wi-Fi
2. 根据路由器配置，在路由器上启用WPS
3. 可以有多种方式来激活WPS
   • 路由器^(Router)背面或顶部的按钮
   • Unifi的路由器允许您通过长按显示屏来激活。
   • 路由器管理界面中可用的软件^(Software)按钮。
4. 激活后，您应该注意到路由器^(Router)上的 LED 闪烁或以某种方式表示计算机可以建立连接。
5. 路由器^(Router)现在已准备好接受请求。

How to secure and protect your WiFi Router

从 Windows 10 连接到 WPS^{(Connect to WPS from Windows 10)}

1. 单击^(Click)系统托盘上的地球图标
2. 查找已激活WPS的^(WPS)WIFI网络
3. 单击^(Click)要通过WPS连接的网络^(WPS)
4. 请注意^(Notice)，它不会要求输入密码，而是会自动连接
5. 如果您在启用WPS^(WPS)之前连接到网络，则在启用WPS后文本框将自动消失。

最后，即使您找到了用于连接WPS的 Wi-Fi 密码，它也无法在其他设备上使用。它与设备严格绑定。

我希望这篇文章很容易理解，不仅您了解WPS，而且您还能够通过WPS将您的^(WPS)Windows 10设备连接到路由器^(Router)。

What is Wi-Fi Protected Setup & how to use it to connect?

Most of the routerѕ come with a special feature that allowѕ аny device with Wi-Fi to connect with a password. Its called WPS or Wi-Fi Protected Setup standard. While the support for WPS has been removed in Android, was never there on Apple devices, Windows 10 OS still supports it. In this post, we will share about Wi-FI Protected Setup, and how you can use it to connect.

What is Wi-Fi Protected Setup or WPS

While you can connect to any router using a password, it means sharing the password. If you do not want to share the password,  WPS is the way to go. Technically, it is a network security standard created by Wi-Fi Alliance. It allows the routers to open up temporary to devices who request connection through WPS. Once the device connects, the arrangement is permanent. During the process, the Router generates a unique password, which is different from the router password. The device will automatically use the same password every time it connects to the network.

Pros:

• More comfortable to connect as you don’t need to share the password of the Router
• The password used in the WPS is different from the router password

Cons:

• Not all devices support WPS
• Vulnerable to brute attack

Note: This feature is available on all the routers now, and with a push of a button, devices can join the Wi-Fi network. Only if the Router is using the security protocols WPA Personal or WPA2, WPS can be enabled.

Which operating systems provide support for WPS, and which don’t?

Windows 10 still supports WPS, but  Android and Apple’s iPhone and macOS even don’t recommend it because of the security flaws.

How to use WPS to connect devices to Router

Activate WPS on Router

1. Configure password-protected Wi-Fi using WPA Personal or WPA2
2. Depending on the router configuration, enable WPS on the Router
3. There can be multiple ays to activate WPS
   • A button on the back or top of the Router
   • Routers from Unifi allows you to activate by a long press on display.
   • Software button available in the router admin interface.
4. Once activated, you should notice a blinking LED on the Router or some way to signify that the computer can make a connection.
5. The Router is now ready to accept a request.

How to secure and protect your WiFi Router

Connect to WPS from Windows 10

1. Click on the globe icon on the system tray
2. Look for the WIFI network for which the WPS has been activated
3. Click on it network you want to connect through WPS
4. Notice that instead of asking for a password it will automatically connect
5. If you connect to the network before WPS is enabled, the text box will automatically disappear as soon as WPS is enabled.

Lastly, even if you find out the Wi-Fi password used to connect with the WPS, it will not work on other devices. It is strictly bonded to the device.

I hope the post was easy to follow, and not only you understand WPS, but you are also able to connect your Windows 10 device to the Router over WPS.
