Hello, I'm with Free and I have a Free box. Recently, my Wi-Fi has been of poor quality, and my phone informed me about WPS. I learned that switching to WPA2 is much better, but when I go to my box, then to Wi-Fi, and then to WPS, it shows as disabled and even clicking on it does not activate it. I would have liked to give you the version number to see if an update is necessary, but the small screen displaying the menus is somewhat "beat up" and the numbers for the time overlap the words so it was difficult to see much. Thank you very much!

WPS impossible à activer sur Free Box

Solved

Bonjour,
Je suis chez Free et j'ai donc une box Free.
Depuis peu mon wifi est de qualité plus que médiocre, et mon téléphone m'a informé de l'existence des WPS. J'ai appris que le changer en WPA2 etait beaucoup mieux, mais lorsque je vais sur ma box, dans wifi, puis dans WPS celui ci est noté désactivé et même en cliquant dessus il ne s'est pas activé.
J'aurais bien aimé vous donner le numero de la version pour savoir si une mise à jour est nécessaire, mais le petit écran où s'affiche les menus est quelque peu "defoncé" et les nombres de l'heure s'affichent par dessus les mots donc c'était difficile d'y voir grand chose.
Merci beaucoup !

Hello,
Restart your Freebox to update it if necessary.
Then go to Freebox OS, then Freebox Settings, then click on the Advanced mode tab, then WiFi, then WPS.

Salut, comment accéder à Freebox OS s'il te plaît ?

Hello bazfile, I'm commenting on your message because I'm having the same issue. I've done what you said, but it doesn't work because I'm told that WPS is not compatible with my Wi-Fi network configuration and that I need to modify it, but I don't know how to do that. Can you help me, please?

Hello Odile,
This is due to an outdated WiFi protection setting; please note that you'll need to reconnect the WiFi devices once the WPA2-PSK/AES setting is made.
When you are in Freebox OS, then go to Freebox settings, then WiFi, go to the Network configuration tab, in Protection type select WPA2-PSK/AES, then click on Apply, close Freebox OS and restart the Freebox. Once it has restarted, activate WPS as indicated in my first message.
You can also activate WPS via the touchscreen menu of the Freebox Server (the box that displays the time).
