• AMG1202/AMG1302/AMG1312-T10B series
• NBG Series devices
• SBG3x00 series
• LTE6101 series

Detailed, step-by-step instructions are provided for disabling WPS on each of the listed ZyXEL device series. The process typically involves logging into the router's web-based management interface (often accessible via http://192.168.1.1) and navigating to the Wireless or WPS settings to disable the feature.
