WPS activation using IP address.

Hi

My Sky router is in the loft, so I often use the IP address to reset the router. Is there a way to activate WPS through there as well as sky boxes refuse to connect to router without using WPS.

The original specification for WPS had a PIN option as well as the dual button press method, but neither a current Sky Hub model or Q box supports this: it's been known for more than a decade to have a major cryptographic flaw which renders it hopelessly insecure to remote attack.
