What is the main benefit of Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)?

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is designed to simplify the process of establishing secure wireless connections between a router and devices. The main benefit of WPS is the ease it brings to connecting devices securely without needing to manually input complex passwords. WPS allows users to either press a button on the router and the device they want to connect or enter a short PIN, effectively automating the configuration of encryption settings and securing the connection. This user-friendly approach is particularly beneficial for those who may not be tech-savvy or familiar with Wi-Fi security settings.

In contrast, improving signal strength, enhancing encryption of data, or extending wireless range are not primary functions of WPS. While WPS enables secure connections, it does not directly influence the encryption level beyond standard security protocols like WPA or WPA2, nor does it affect the physical signal strength or range provided by the router hardware itself.
