Disable WPS button on Deco
2024-10-07 13:52:00
Model: Deco BE85  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.0.19

How can I disable the WPS button since its located in a place where people can connect to the main network using the wps button without entering the wifi password. 

Older versions it was possible to disable the button from the webpage. 

With this model that option is not available. 

Looking forwarded to your solution to this issue. 

 

Thank You

To enable WPS functionality with Deco routers, please access the application to authorize device connections.

 

In the Deco app, proceed to the Network tab, click on More, and then select WPS. You will find an option for each Deco device that has been added to your network.

 

Devices will not be able to connect to your network unless you explicitly grant them permission through the app by following the aforementioned steps.

  @HelpFixDecoApp This does not address the question of disabling the physical WPS button located on the device. If someone can reach the device he will only press the button and will then be able to join the network without having to put the password and that is what I don't want to happen. Previous models you can disable this button so even if someone physically press the button on the device it will do nothing.
