WPS makes it easy to connect a device to a network. But does that also work with the iPhone?
To anticipate the answer: No, unfortunately not. The iPhone has neither a physical nor a virtual WPS button with which you can connect to the WLAN. WPS stands for "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" and represents a standard for a simplified connection to an existing network of new devices. In our tips + tricks we explain why the iPhone does not support WPS and how you can alternatively connect to the WLAN .
WPS stands for WiFi Protected Setup and is supported by all common routers as standard - mostly through a button or switch. WPS enables you to connect a device to the network without entering the WiFi password. The problem with this standard, however, lies in security. During the authentication process, WPS uses an 8-bit pin code that is prone to hacking . Through the use of so-called " brute force attacks ", third parties can gain access to your network from outside. Once a third party has access to your network, they can read out various passwords and steal your data. Since WPS is to be classified as questionable from a security point of view, Apple accordingly dispenses with this standard for the iPhone..
