WPS may refer to any of the following:

1. When referring to a file or file extension, .WPS is a file extension used with Microsoft Works versions 6 to Microsoft Works version 9. For users who need to open a Microsoft Works files, you can still use Microsoft Word to open these files.

2. When referring to a network, WPS is short for Wi-Fi Protected Setup. It is a method of establishing a connection between a wireless device and a wireless router that was released in 2007. To connect a wireless device to a router, you need to know the router name (SSID) and its password. However, with WPS you could connect to the network using any of the methods below.

In order to make your work more convenient, you can set WPS Office as default office tool on Your PC. All file formats such as doc/ docx, xml/ xmls, ppt/ pptx can be opened with WPS Office. This article will take Windows 10 as an example. Here are the specific steps. Open the start menu from the taskbar. WPS Office is a comprehensive and free office suite for Windows that includes a text processor, spreadsheet, and presentation creator, among other useful tools that are completely compatible with other.

Tip

Some manufacturers may also refer to WPS or the WPS button as EZSetup or Push 'n' Connect.

  • For devices that support WPS, you can enter the eight-digit WPS PIN on your wireless router to connect to the router.
  • If your wireless device has a WPS button, press it and the WPS button to connect to the network.
  • Press the WPS button on the router and then using a wireless device find and select the router to connect without having to enter a password.
  • For wireless devices that have WPS, you can enter the eight-digit generated PIN in your wireless router's setup to connect the device.

Where is the WPS PIN or WPS key?

The WPS PIN is on the back or bottom of the router. With most routers, the WPS PIN is on a sticker and is an eight-digit number.

Disadvantages with WPS

Although WPS can make it easier to connect wireless devices to your network, there are some distinct disadvantages of WPS.

  • If the wireless router is in an insecure area, anyone can use the WPS button to connect to your network.
  • All WPS devices have a unique eight-digit PIN (seven digits and a checksum digit), which does not provide for many combinations. A hacker can conceivably brute-force the WPS PIN, then connect to your network.
  • The WPS router PIN cannot be changed.
  • WPS only works with WPA or WPA2 security and does not support older devices with WEP.

Although WPS can make it easier to connect wireless devices to your network because of these disadvantages, you may want to disable WPS through your router setup.

Note

Some routers may still be vulnerable to a WPS brute-force attack even after WPS is disabled. If you're concerned about your wireless router security after disabling WPS also make sure to get the latest firmware update for your router.

Note

Even with the latest firmware update not all routers allow you to disable WPS.

Computer acronyms, Network terms

To view a Microsoft Works .wps file in Microsoft Word, you need a converter that enables Microsoft Word to view the files.

Microsoft provides a free file called WorksConv.exe that is compatible with Microsoft Word 2000 and later, allowing you to open Microsoft Works 6.0 to 9.0 documents.

To open older .wps documents created with Microsoft Works 4.0 or 4.5, Microsoft provides Wks4Converter_en-US.msi.

We recommend downloading and installing both of these files.

WpsTip

Microsoft Word 2013 is capable of opening Microsoft Works 6.0 to 9.0 documents by default. However, you still need to download and install the Wks4Converter_en-US.msi file to open Microsoft Works 4.0 or 4.5 documents.

Once these files are downloaded, follow the steps listed below.

  1. Close any open Microsoft Word windows.
  2. Double-click the WorksConv.exe file and follow the prompts to install it. Then, double-click the Wks4Converter_en-US.msi file and follow the prompts to install as well.
  3. After installing both files, open Microsoft Word.
  4. In Microsoft Word, click File and then click Open. If there is no File menu, click the Microsoft Office button in the top-left of the Word window, then click Open.
Tip

In Word 2013, after clicking the Open option, you need to select Computer, then click Browse.
In Word 2016 and later, after clicking the Open option, you need to click Browse.

  1. In the Open window, in the File type drop-down menu or the unlabeled drop-down menu next to File name are: Works 4.x (*.wps), Works 6-9 Document (*.wps), and Works 6.0 (*.wps).
  2. Select the appropriate version of Works for the file you are opening. If you're not sure which version your Works file is, try the Works 6-9 Document (*.wps) option first.
  3. Browse to the location of the Works file you want to open, select the file, then click Open.

After I open the file, it's not formatted properly

Depending on the Microsoft Works file, it may look strange because formatting is not converted correctly. If this occurs, try opening the file as a different Works version. If this does not work, you'll have to change the formatting manually in Word if you want it to display correctly.

Saving the file as a Word file

If you want to continue to use this file or want to make it compatible with Microsoft Word, follow the steps below.

  1. After the file is opened and edited, click File and choose Save As. If there is no File menu, click the Microsoft Office button in the top-left of the Word window, then click Save As.
  2. In the Save As window, select the location you want to save the file.
