It was reported last year that the WiFi Protected Service (WPS) for configuring a wireless router is susceptible to brute force attacks.

If available, turn off WPS on your device and configure it the old fashioned way of reading the manual and using the interface via a network connection.

 

I like to use the old addage of "if its something new that makes things easier, stay away from it, its probably breakable.  Wait for Version 2 to be released".

Check with your Wireless Router manufacturer to see if your device is susceptible or if there is a later version of the rom code available.  Upgrade and keep your device up to date with the latest in security and configurations.

Various levels of WiFi are breakable (except WPA2/Enterprise, but give it time) and anything that is added to help configure your device faster is usually a bad move.

 

If all else fails, stay current with your manufacturers modifications for your device.
