WPS
Abbreviation for “WiFi Protected Setup”. For security reasons, wireless
networks are encrypted and a password is required to establish a connection
to them. On the one hand, this password can be defined manually. In this
case, the user needs to enter the password to establish a connection. On the

or router providing the wireless network with a few moments to attempt
synchronisation with the connecting device (e.g. smartphone). This is achieved
