[Pico W] WiFi WPS connection?

Post by Taki7o7 » Sun Jul 03, 2022 11:59 pm

Hey i wonder if & how we could establish a connection to a router via WPS instead of ssid+pw

I cannot really find anything with google or the search function, beside some posts and pull requests regarding the esp8226 & esp32, maybe my search pattern is just weird ^^

So i would highly appreciate any guidance into the right direction.

Have a great day!
Greetings from Vienna

Unfortunately this is not currently supported.

There was a PR to add it for ESP32 but not yet merged, and the original branch has been deleted. https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/7452

I also put some effort in to testing #4464 (which #7452 appeared to be inspired by). It had implemented the WPS functionality but Damien had some reasonable feedback and the PR stalled. If someone wanted to pick up the WPS effort they ought to take a look at this implementation and consider the feedback!

Thanks for your replies. Thats really sad not even the esp32 boards support it yet.

I hope it will get implemented at least for esp32 soon(TM) ^^


Currently i am even struggling with setting a password on an Access Point from a Pico W, see this issue if you're interested.
