wifi wps support on Hotspot settings

[VINOTHKUMAR S]

Hi all,

Android4.4 have the WPS setup in hotspot settings. But in Android 6 Hotspot settings WPS option is not there. I want to know the Android6 AOSP have the WPS support in hotspot mode or not.?

Regards,

I'm going to recommend you avoid WPS completely, Disable it when possible or just don't use it. WPS has a long history as a security hole, router manufacturers have been providing this documented disservice to the public as a convenience measure without clearly stating it also introduces adds an exploit gap into your local network. Use it to make things easier but keep in mind you're also making your network less safe.
