Can I disable WPS in AiMesh?

[Grisu]

that cannot work afaik, as DSL is only able to act as parent Aimesh router, not as node!
You could try with SSH to the node to change it.
List all wps settings and compare before an afterwards which of them is changing if you deactivate WPS.
SSH to router an type to get a list of all WPS related items: nvram show | grep -E wps | sort
Maybe "wps_enable=1" set to "0" could do it, but didnt test, look at your own.
To change value with SSH e.g. for above setting type:
nvram set wps_enable=0
nvram commit

WPS is poorly coded in ASUS firmware and is actually so intertwined in the code you can't even remove it. If you think turning it off is actually turning off all the services related to WPS you are wrong. Take a look at watchdog.c.

For current version, with DSL-AC68U as router, and RT-AC68U as node, with last firmwares on both, when you deactivate WPS on router, it deactivate it on router, but NOT propagate it to the nodes, as you can see in the image attached.

This is causing problems for all the PDAs of our warehouse, that don't accept WPS. when I deactivate it, they connect to the router, but not to the node.

All the phones, PC's and others, navigate ok between the mesh.

Could I deactive the WPS on the node alone? is there any way to do it? I tried several times to access the GUI of the node, but it redirects me to the router, even by wire, and when I deactivate it, the node didn't seem to take care of it.

You have to do this.
Tool: Putty.

'1' = On,
'0' = Off
'wps_enable=0' = 5 Ghz
'wps_enable_x=0' = 2.4 Ghz


1. Connect to Main.
Use following commands.

nvram set wps_enable=0
nvram set wps_enable_x=0
nvram commit
reboot

2. Connect to Node.
First! Type Node IP Address to connect. ID and Password are the same as Main.
Use following commands.

nvram set wps_enable=0
nvram set wps_enable_x=0
nvram commit
reboot

Merry Christmas!

It didn't work on a AX88U Pro as a AiMesh Node on a AX88U Pro.

It still is showing under UPnP-service on the Node.
It isn't showing for the Rouer where is was disabled in the GUI.

But added:
nvram set w10.1_wps_mode=0
Committed and rebooted.

Then it stopped showing up.
Haven't had any problems after doing that.

Best regards
