Does TP-Link TL-WR543G support WPS? If so, can it be turned off?

3

I have a TP-Link TL-WR543G router that has been purchased around 2011. I tried to find some WPS-related settings and turn them off, but unfortunately I cannot find any such option in the web interface.

The router reports that its exact model is WR543G v2. The firmware version is 3.7.1 Build 080904, and it seems to be up to date. I've come across this RouterCheck page, but despite having this particular router model in the title, it only contains generic instructions on where to look for the option ("it could be in Wi-Fi settings...").

So, I have two questions:

  • Does this router implement WPS?
  • If yes, is it possible for me to turn it off?

If you can believe the router manual http://www.tp-link.com/resources/software/2008716160729.pdf, then no. It makes no mention of WPS or Protected Setup.

Based on the User Guide provided by TP-LINK, WPS does not seem to be supported by this router.

I guess that's good enough for me. – user4520 – 2015-12-12T19:36:35.597
