"WiFi Protected Setup" (WPS) got a bad rep, because there were significant security issues with the PIN based WPS, leading to remote exploits granting full access to the WiFi net. The recommended workaround was to disable WPS.
But -- how is WPS today? I just bought a Linksys EA6300 router, and would really like to keep WPS enabled, because it makes adding mobile phones, friends' tablets etc so much easier.
I tried to look at Linksys' support pages to see of the EA6300 rate limits PIN WPS attempts or in some other way secures the WPS functionality -- but I didn't find anything.
What's the verdict, should WPS still be disabled on modern routers like the EA6300?
