Fritz box! Disable WPS function - the steps:
The problem with the WPS function of your FritzBox is that a security vulnerability has been found that allows attackers to connect to your WiFi network. It is therefore advisable to deactivate the function when it is not in use.
- Open the FritzBox interface by entering fritz.box in the address bar of your browser.
- Then select the menu item "WLAN" and the sub-item "Security".
- Now click on the second tab "WPS quick connection".
- There you can tick "WPS active". You deactivate the WPS function by ensuring that the check mark is not set.
- Confirm the change by clicking "Apply". However, you have to restart your FritzBox again.
