Model : TL-WA850RE

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version : 3.14.8 Build 140310 Rel.54716n

Hi,

How can I dissable WPS on TL-WA850RE? I have latest firmware=3.14.8 Build 140310 Rel.54716n.
On my "root" AP (Linksys Smart wifi) I have disabled WPS, but on this TL-WA850RE there is no WPS
settings to disable it, as described here: How to avoid brute force attack on WPS?

If I try to brute force attack WPS, it trigers "WPS locked". But probably after long time it is
possible to crack it, especially because I use this device in different part of the house and when
I unplug electricity and move it to different room WPS is not locked any more and attacker can
continue attack:(

It would be very good to have option to disable WPS, since it is not obligatory and it pose
possible security issue.


Best regards,
Thomas.

Upvoting here.
I'm also owning TL-WA850RE (WA850RE v1.2 00000000/3.14.8 Build 140826 Rel.63335n) and it has WPS capability turned on by default.
While on my other routers i disabled wps as it very unsecure technology, i cannot disable it on my TL-WA850RE and cannot use it as it opens breach in my network.

Hi,I would like to know the difference between brute force attack and dictionary attack. In this two case, the attack is performed by trying differents passwords to gain an access onto a system. So what would be the diff?
