How To Use WPS On IPhone?

So I have been using WPS Office on my iPhone for a long time and it's by far the best FREE office suite that's available on the App Store. This is why I want to share with you today how you can use this application.

The complete form of WPS is WiFi Protected Setup. WPS is used for creating a wireless network at home. You can find this feature in many wireless routers. Unfortunately, iPhone doesn't support this feature for some security problems.

You need to manually set up the connection between WPS and iPhone by entering the wireless network key or "Pass Phrase." In this guide, the setup process has been discussed. So let's dip into the topic.

How to Enable WPS on iPhone?

Enabling WPS on iPhone is very simple, and it takes very little time. You need to follow a few steps;

1. Go to the Settings option of your iPhone.
2. Tap on the WiFi option under the Airplane Mode.
3. Turn on the WiFi.
   

Now the available wireless networks will appear on the list of networks. Now you need to enter the SSID and Passphrase of the network. At first;

1. Go to the rear side of the wireless router network icon.
2. Write down the SSID name and Passphrase of the network on paper.

Now;

1. Go to the list of the available networks.
2. Choose the SSID name of your wireless router.
3. Go to the Password field.
   
4. Enter the wireless network key of the network.
5. Connect the network with your iPhone.

And you are done.

Is there any WPS Button in iPhone?

No, iPhone doesn't have any WPS button. Apple doesn't support WPS because of some security issues.  You have to establish the connection of WPS on your iPhone manually.

Why Doesn't iPhone Support WPS?

WPS doesn't ask for any password while connecting with any WiFi network. It causes unusual data loss and hack. Attackers can easily access the network and hack the whole system. That's why Apple doesn't support WPS. You must have a passphrase and SSID to connect your iPhone with WPS.

Many people don't find it convenient to connect WPS with their iPhones manually. But this process is more secured. If you try to connect WPS with your iPhone using a passphrase, there are fewer chances of hacking. This method will save your valuable data.

Why Is WPS Used?

WPS is used widely used because it is faster than WiFi. It can quickly establish a connection between a router and wireless devices.

Why Is WPS Insecure for iPhones?

Though WPS pins have eight digits, it is still precarious because the router does not check the entire 8-digit pin at once. Instead, it matches the first four digits and then the last four. "Brute Force" attackers can easily guess the combination of the pins as there are only 11,000 possible combinations for four-digit codes.

After finding the first four digits, the last four digits are even easier to find. It can be done within a day. A software named "Reaver" is straightforward for anyone to use and crack the WPS pin.

Disabling WPS for iPhones Security

If you enable WPS on iPhone and then wish to secure your iPhone by disabling it, here are points to keep in mind:

• WPS cannot be disabled in some routers.
• You can disable some routers, but they may still be enabled without you knowing about them.
• You can disable WPS for some routers but without any authentication mode.
• Some routers will allow you to disable pin-based WPS.
• And finally, some routes don't support WPS at all.

Though the last one is the most secure, you can also use a router that will allow you to disable pin-based WPS but keep push-button authentication for security purposes.
