WPS is broken anyway. Its trivial to crack via brute force. Why its still being shipped as a feature, let alone a feature that's on by default is beyond me. The failings of the wifi consortium are pretty obvious, to the point where I wonder if there's some NSA trickery involved in making sure these things are insecure by default. I wish they took security more seriously.
