WPS Feature

[costa-victor]

Hello there,

I've been studying and doing some network testing with a new router I bought, and I was thinking about bringing the WPS feature to Moddable, so I would like to know if there is any reason why this feature is not available? Or would it be a welcome feature?

I was thinking about bringing this feature to ESP32, but considering it can be used by other platforms. So I was looking at the existing approach to taking care of various platforms used by Digital module.

Thanks,
Victor

I don't use WPS and I'm unsure how widely used it is these days. Maybe someone else has a strong opinion on this. @wilberforce has done quite a bit of interesting work on Wi-Fi provisioning, for example.

Wi-Fi Protected Set-up (WPS) seems to have many options. Are you referring specifically to the Push Button mode?

I'm familiar with Push Button mode (PBC) and Personal Identification number (PIN), these two are available for ESP-IDF.

I have done some tests and projects using them, specifically the PBC seems to be an easy and cool option for provisioning.

Yes @wilberforce and @phoddie , i'm referring to the option the WPS button on the router.

Nice @wilberforce , I haven't know this tool.

I would have throught it might have been the push-button option on the router?

This is another area that might be worth investigation:
