*Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a network security standard that creates a secure wireless home
network. Nokia WiFi devices used to depend on this method for paring with one another and forming
mesh links, and some of the enclosures still has a WPS button. However, the devices no longer use this
pairing method.
