M4 WPS security clarification please

2020-08-17 13:17:18 - last edited 2020-08-20 08:44:43

Model: Deco M4

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 1.4.2 Build 20200727 Rel. 37987

Just purchased an M4 Deco system and all set up and working. My question is about the WPS function. WPS itself is often recognised as being a security risk. Is the M4 usage of WPS an issue? I think I saw somewhere that, if used, it is only active for 2 minutes. Does this mean that it turns itself off and is, therefore, not a risk?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, thanks a lot for sharing your opinion on this WPS feature of the Deco device.

We actually released a new firmware (1.4.2) which has enhanced the overall security on the Deco system, including the WPS, it is suggested to update it for any security concerns.

Hopefully, that answers your question but let us know if you need more details.
