WPA vs WPS

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a security protocol designed to protect wireless networks through encryption and authentication, with WPA2 and WPA3 being the current standards offering strong AES-based encryption. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a feature designed to simplify the process of connecting devices to a Wi-Fi network, typically using a PIN or button press. However, WPS has well-known security vulnerabilities (particularly the PIN method) and is generally recommended to be disabled on network equipment.
