Final answer:

To connect to Wi-Fi using WPS on an Android, enable WPS on the router, go to your Android's Wi-Fi settings, select 'WPS Push Button', then press the WPS button on the router. Your device will connect automatically without a password.

Step-by-step explanation:

To connect to a Wi-Fi network using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) on an Android device, follow these steps:

Make sure that the Wi-Fi router you are trying to connect to supports WPS and that the feature is enabled. You can typically find this information in your router's manual or by looking at the settings on the router itself.

Go to your Android device's settings menu and select 'Wi-Fi' or 'Network & Internet' then 'Wi-Fi'.

Within the Wi-Fi settings, look for the 'Advanced' settings or 'WPS Push Button' option and select it. The specific navigation path can vary depending on your Android version and device model.

Press the WPS button on your router. This is usually a physical button on the router with the WPS symbol. It must be pressed shortly after you select the WPS option on your Android device.

Your Android device will now automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network without the need to enter a password. A notification will usually appear when the connection has been successful.

Note that due to security concerns, some newer routers and devices are moving away from WPS. If you cannot find a WPS option on your device or router, consider connecting with a Wi-Fi password instead.
