Where To Find WPS Pin
The WPS Pin consists of an 8-digit number. Using this number, you can sync your HP printer to a WiFi network wirelessly and that too without having to use passwords. The WPS pin can be generated by the router managing the Wi-Fi or by the client who wants to connect to it. To find the WPS pin, simply go to your printer’s control panel. You should now see your WPS pin in the settings menu. It is a secret code that saves your printer from third-party users and hackers, and allows wireless connection between two or more devices.
