In addition, adding more wifi encryption to be supported it would be nice to have at least a Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) connection method. Obviously this will be a security risk by exposing your wireless password to a lucky hacker in crowded locations. But it is a handy feature especially in consumer routers.

Can someone please explain, how I can use this feature? I want to connect to my router via WPS (with a JP1 running Jämsänjoki), but I always get asked for the WLAN password.

It is kind a in "early state feature". Press WPS button on your router. ON your device press / pulley to connect to Internet. Then press wifi icon on listed networks view to do a new scan. Connect to a network and you should be connected without a password prompt. I noticed that if you shutdown or reboot the wps method does not persist and store secrets. So every shuts/reboots you have to do it again :/

Sorry for late answer, have not been here a long while :D

I have already been working on adding support for WPS, but I am not sure when it will land. It still needs more work, and there have been more pressing issues like stabilizing connectivity.

Thanks for the info. I agree with the stability.

Will this work with WPS projectors and WPS adapters/dongles for projectors?
