How to Use WPS Push Button on OPPO Phone

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a feature found in many Wi-Fi routers that allows for secure wireless networks. If you need to connect your OPPO phone to a WPS router, we've created a guide to help you connect to Wi-Fi using a WPS connection.

Google's removal of the WPS on Android 12

Google removed the WPS connection on Android 12, thus making it unsupported on ColorOS 12 as well. If you forget your Wi-Fi password, you can reconnect to a network by scanning the QR code on another device that has turned on the personal hotspot. Both mobile data and Wi-Fi can be shared via the personal hotspot. Wi-Fi, if available, will be shared first by default.

Connect OPPO phone using WPS

 Follow the steps below to connect your phone to the network via WPS.

1. Check if your wireless router features a WPS push button. You may contact your network operator to check if your Wi-Fi router has the WPS feature. Some manufacturers may use alternative terms like Wi-Fi Simple Config, Push 'n' Connect, PBC, or Quick Secure Setup (QSS).

2. On the phone, go to [Settings] > [Wi-Fi] and toggle it to enable.

3. Under "WI-FI SETTINGS", tap [Advanced Settings] > [WPS Button Connection] / [WPS Connections].

   * In some OPPO phones, you may need to tap [WPS connection] again to confirm until a prompt appears.

   
   

1. Press the WPS connection button on your router to establish a connection. The button may be labeled "WPS" or the WPS icon. Depending on the router and the phone configuration, it may take a few minutes to connect.

2. Once a successful connection is made, tap [OK].

If the WPS connection fails, try the following:

1. Make sure that the router's WPS feature is enabled.

2. Move the router closer to the device.

3. Contact the router manufacturer or Internet Service Provider for further assistance.
