First of all: what is WPS?

WPS stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup, meaning that devices synchronize themselves together through a simple button press as long as they have access to the same Wi-Fi network. Many printers offer this option.

Any user, whether authorized or not, can connect a device to a Wi-Fi network using WPS by using the corresponding button on their router.
