Just some XMAS cheer , a bit of FYI & something to test over xmas It seems , that even though you have disabled insecure WPS, some routers wont actually disable it because of firmware bugs Just to make things worse, many routers have a WPS backdoor key built in, & its very easily hackable/cracked . More info here, including a link to tools to test if your wifi is vulnerable windowssecrets.com "Shockingly, selecting the option to disable WPS on some routers doesn’t actually do anything! The configuration screen might say that WPS is disabled, but it actually isn’t. (I’ll also come back to this in a moment.)" :badpc:	1101 (13337)
