To connect a PC to the internet, wifi is activated, the network is selected and then the password must be entered.
If you use a complex password or in any case you do not remember, you can also choose to connect the PC to the wifi network with the internet using the WPS mode, which stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup, which does not require entering a password .
Most modern wifi router-modems support the WPS function, which allows you to connect a device to a supported modem or router without entering the password, only that almost nobody uses it.
The WPS function is a nice convenience, also because it works not only with PCs, but also with smartphones and tablets (Android only), with printers and other network devices, so you only need to activate it once to allow connection to the internet quickly.
NOTE: In this guide we find out how to connect to a wifi network using WPS from Windows 10 PC and from Android, assuming however that WPS is active on the router, which should be by default.
To be sure that WPS is active, it is better to access the router's configuration panel, search for WPS in the wifi network settings and activate it.

With a Windows 10 PC (and also on Windows 7) it is possible to connect to the internet without entering the wifi password by first of all clicking on the network connection icon on the taskbar, near the desktop clock.
If you cannot see the networks icon, press the arrow upwards or go to Settings> Network and internet> Wifi .
Once the list of available wifi networks has been expanded, locate the name of the network you want to connect to, click on it and then press the button to connect.
Uncheck the item Connect automatically if you do not want to connect to this network in the future every time you switch on your PC.
When the password request appears, I will find it under a writing that says: " You can also connect by pressing the button on the router ".
At this point, just press the WPS button on the router to connect the computer to the internet and transfer all the security information, including the access password.
The button pressing procedure is done only once, it will not have to be repeated and you will not be required to press the WPS button again.
In the same way it is possible to connect an Android smartphone, even if the option is less visible.
In Android you can activate the connection via WPS by going to Settings> Wifi, then pressing the button with three dots on the screen where the wifi networks are listed and going to Advanced .
In the advanced Wifi options you can press on WPS command button and then press the WPS button on the router.
On iPhone and iPad the connection via WPS cannot be used, so you will always have to enter the password to connect to a wifi network.
The WPS button on the router, which has a double arrow symbol, should be located on the front, but it can be on either side,
In addition, in some routers / modems it is required to keep the key pressed for a few seconds to establish the required connection.
Finally, note that WPS can be a vulnerability for the network, so if you are in a very busy environment, with more chances that some expert hacker can access our network, it may be better to disable it completely.
We have seen, in fact, how, in theory, it can be simple to crack a wifi if WPS is active.
