Using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) on an iPhone allows you to quickly connect to a secure Wi-Fi network without manually entering the network password. While WPS is primarily supported by Android devices, there are a few methods you can try to use WPS on an iPhone. Please note that these methods may not work on all iPhones, as Apple has limited WPS functionality on their devices. Here are some possible ways to use WPS on an iPhone:
WPS Push Button Method:
- Ensure that your Wi-Fi router supports WPS. Look for a WPS button on the router.
- On your iPhone, go to Settings and tap on Wi-Fi.
- Find the network you want to connect to and tap the (i) icon next to it.
- Look for an option called WPS or WPS Push Button and tap on it.
- Press the WPS button on your router within a specific time limit (usually a few seconds).
- Your iPhone should automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network if the WPS process is successful.
WPS PIN Entry Method:
- Ensure that your Wi-Fi router supports WPS and note down the WPS PIN.
- On your iPhone, go to Settings and tap on Wi-Fi.
- Find the network you want to connect to and tap the (i) icon next to it.
- Look for an option called WPS or WPS PIN Entry and tap on it.
- Enter the WPS PIN you obtained from your router and tap Join or Connect.
- If the PIN is correct and the router accepts it, your iPhone will connect to the Wi-Fi network.
- Use Third-Party Apps:
If the above methods do not work, you can try using third-party apps from the App Store that claim to support wps on iphone. Search for WPS-related apps and read reviews to find one that suits your needs. Install the app, follow the provided instructions and attempt to connect to a Wi-Fi network using the app’s features. Remember that WPS is not considered the most secure method for connecting to Wi-Fi networks due to vulnerabilities. It is generally recommended to use the traditional method of entering the Wi-Fi password manually on your iPhone for better security. If your router does not support WPS or you are unable to use it on your iPhone, manually entering the password is the safest way to connect to Wi-Fi networks. It is important to note that WPS support on iPhones can vary depending on the iOS version and iPhone model you are using. If you do not find any WPS-related options in the Wi-Fi settings or face difficulties, it is likely that WPS is not fully supported by your iPhone. In such cases, it is advisable to consult Apple’s official documentation or contact their support for further assistance.
