Anyone can use software named вЂњReaverвЂќ to crack a WPS PIN. A WPS PIN can be brute-forced in about a day. Many consumer routers donвЂ™t time out after a wrong WPS PIN is provided, allowing attackers to guess over and over again. There are only 11,000 possible four-digit codes, and once the brute force software gets the first four digits right, the attacker can move on to the rest of the digits. This makes WPS PINs very easy to вЂњbrute forceвЂќ by guessing different combinations. Rather than check the entire eight-digit PIN at once, the router checks the first four digits separately from the last four digits. PIN: The router has a eight-digit PIN that you need to enter on your devices to connect. There are several different ways to implement Wi-Fi protected setup: When you connect to a router with WPS enabled, youвЂ™ll see a message saying you can use an easier way to connect rather than entering your Wi-Fi passphrase. Wi-FI Protected Setup (WPS), was created to solve this problem.

This can be a bit inconvenient, as you have to enter your passphrase on each new device you connect. The router derives an encryption key from your passphrase, which it uses to encrypt your wireless network traffic to ensure people without the key canвЂ™t eavesdrop on it.

This essentially gives you a password that protects your Wi-FI network from unauthorized access. The вЂњPSKвЂќ stands for вЂњpre-shared key.вЂќ You set up a wireless passphrase on your router and then provide that same passphrase on each device you connect to your WI-Fi network. Most home users should be using WPA2-Personal, also known as WPA2-PSK. The 2.4G and 5G can both get PBC prompt('YouД¬an also connect by pushing the button on the router')Дў.click a 2.4G SSID('cth_w_2.4_1') to try to connect 2.4g on win10ДЈ.win10 can get 2.4G PBC promt that display 'You can also connect by pushing the button on the router'Д¤.win10 can also get 5G PBC promt if click a 5G SSID('cth_w_5g_5') later.RELATED: The Difference Between WEP, WPA, and WPA2 Wi-Fi Passwords Then we test same following steps on win10 as connecting to a wireless router supported dual bands(2.4G & 5G). We find WIN7 client also meet this issue in following dual-band routers ( 2.4G & 5G wifi chips are same vendor) ThenДЎ.enable 2.4G & 5G wps on wireless routerДў.click 'Connect' buttonВ to connect a 2.4G SSID firstly in win7's Wireless Network ConnectionВ (not choose 'Connect automatically')ДЈ.win7 will get 2.4G PBC promt that display 'You can also connect by pushing the button on the router'Д¤.win7 fail to get 5G PBC promt(pic1 no ''You can also connect by pushing the button on the router') if click 'Connect'ДҐ.Reboot win7, then click 5G SSID to try to connect 5G firstlyД¦.Win7 get 5G PBC prompt and fail to get 2.4G PBC prompt later if click 2.4G SSID. After one SSID get PBC prompt, other can't get PBC prompt on win7.Д«ut click two SSID(2.4G or 5G) can both get PBC prompt on win10.Pls help check why Only one SSID can get PBC prompt on win7 and other can't get PBC prompt on win7. IВ meet a issue on win7 Professional(Service Pack1) as connecting to a wireless router supported dual bands(2.4G & 5G).
