How to Take the WPS Security off of a Belkin Wireless Router

Belkin wireless routers share an Internet connection, such as cable and DSL, among multiple computers with both wired and wireless connections. Belkin routers can have their wireless security settings configured to use the Wi-Fi Protected Setup standard. You can take the WPS security off of a Belkin wireless router if it is no longer needed or if a different security method, such as WPAv2, is going to be used in its place.
