I have a TP Link TL-WR703N Router that I am trying to setup as an educational tool to teach Wireless Security.

As part of this, I want to setup an SSID that uses WPS as its authentication method, however I can't seem to find anything online that explains how you can set this up.

Has anyone found anything online themselves, or set this up at all, and can offer some advice?

The router configuration is as follows:

  • Running OpenWrt Barrier Breaker 14.07 / LuCI Trunk (0.12+svn-r10530)
  • Kernel Version 3.10.49

According to the OpenWrt Wiki section on WPS, there are some non-default libraries you will need to include to support WPS:

  • Support for WPS is provided by packages wpad and hostapd-utils. Default package wpad-mini is not enough.
  • WPS is possible only when encryption PSK is selected.

it also gives the following minimal steps to get WPS working on OpenWrt firmware, including the two steps above (obviously, you would ssh into your device for these steps):

  1. Add option wps_pushbutton '1' to a config wifi-iface section that is configured for WPA2-PSK
  2. opkg update
  3. opkg remove wpad-mini
  4. opkg install wpad hostapd-utils
  5. reboot
