WPS is one of the encryption standards de-
veloped by the WiFi Alliance. The objective
of WPS is to make it easier to add devices to
an existing network. For more detailed in-
formation, refer to Chapter 4.5.8 Wi-Fi Pro-
tected Setup (WPS).
When the WPA3 encryption standard is
enabled, the WPS function is not available for
technical reasons.
For more information about this, refer to
Chapters 4.5 Wi-Fi and 4.5.8 Wi-Fi Pro-
tected Setup (WPS).
