Where is wps push button on xperia xz2?

[Braeden]

Hey where is wps push button on xperia xz2? I have looked everywhere!

WPS like in wifi protected setup?

There is none.:smileycool:

The WPS button is normally on the wifi router, but in general the WPS funtion is nowdays disabled on most routers as the feature is hacked/cracked to pieces and recommended to not be used.

Hi @Braeden;

Can't say if in XZ2 is in the same place but in XZ Premium go to Settings>Network and Internet>Wi-Fi>Wi-Fi Preferences>Advanced>WPS Button.

Yeah the weird thing is I used it the other day and I'm pretty sure that's where it was and now it's gone, it doesn't have the option there at all

[Braeden]

I've used it 3 or 4 times in the last week because my hotspot on my phone wasn't working but now I'm sure the option has disappeared..

@Braeden;

Are you trying to use it in the same conditions? Have you tried simply restarting the phone? 

[Braeden]

Yeah I'm in the same place trying to use it with the same phone. I turned my phone off and on but that didn't work. How do I reset?

@Braeden;

When I referred the same conditions I was talking about the settings, is your Wi-Fi on (and hot-spot off)? You can do a factory reset in Settings >system but all your data will be deleted, you will need to make backups. 

[Braeden]

Yeah they are both on, but even when they weren't on the other day I looked and wps was still there but was light grey so I couldn't select it, now can't find it at all. I might have to try resetting it

Hi Braeden;

Are you trying to use the WPS button in the Hotspot settings or the Wifi settings? Because in the Hotspot function I was informed that it actually is no longer there.

Regarding the Wifi settings there is a strong possibility that it also got removed with the Android Pie update.

Have you recently updated your device to Android 9.0 (Pie)?
