You'll need to set a Static IP address on the PC as well.  ;)

You can downgrade the firmware using emergency recovery. Hold the reset button down and unplug the power. Plug it back in while still holding in the reset button. Release after about 10 seconds. log into the router and a firmware load page should appear.

Is there a link for this security group reviewing the issue?

I also did a downgrade to 3.01. But used the same way to upgrade, and it worked fine. I did it to test the WPS again (falied), and specially because I could not use 5Ghz with my S8+ (g955fd) without having the router to restart it self couple times.

As asked before, the support team here said....
Dear Mr. Gus

Good Morning,
To disable the WPS function of the router, simply push the button on the back of the device located next to the POWER button. After that, notice on the front if the third led from left to right is off, if it is, the WPS function is disabled.
Sorry, the default PIN password can not be changed. It will always be the password that is on the label attached to the equipment.
 
Any questions, please get in touch with us.

Any ETA for a new firmware?

Just a guess. It seems that a simple change in the wps default password calculation math, or any really random number, would at least not be that easy to hack. The app seems to use some kind of calculation to "find" possible passwords, based on MAC address and so on....

Thanks!

Dear Mr. Gus........,
Good Morning,

We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Please note that using version 3.01 or 3.02 you can not disable the WPS function and we do not have a firmware version available with this feature at this time.

Your comment is very welcome and will be sent to our quality sector so that the feasibility of improvement can be analyzed and verified.

Once again we regret the inconvenience.

Any questions, please get in touch with us.
