What can you do?  Well if you have a Linksys router you will have to wait until they have an updated firmware because there is no way to turn off the WPS setup system.   Other routers will have a place to disable the pin setup method.   I have a Netgear, here are screen shots of where to go to set this setting.

Login to the router, typically you click the address area of the browser and enter 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1   You will be presented with a login screen.  Most people will still have the default username and password which is “admin” and “password” on Netgear devices.   If you do not know the password you may have to set the device back to defaults.

Yes this is getting technical which is what WPS was supposed to help you not have to do.  Just wait till Linksys gets its firmware update available and provides you those instructions.

Now that I have logged in, I scroll down the blue menu to the advanced section and then click Wireless Settings.   There will be a section showing the WPS pin which I have grayed out.  Under that is a line that says Disable Wireless Pin.   Click that check box and click apply.   This will disable the WPS feature.

Here I have provided links to the support for some of the wireless router providers.  They do not have updates for WPS listed but they should soon.

 

Next head back to the Chrome web store and search for the Evernote Web Clipper.   Install this and you will see a small Evernote icon next to the address bar in Chrome.  This button is used to quickly grab any web page or section of a blog and put int into a folder in Evernote. When clipping blog pages or articles you can adjust and select the area that is being clipped to Evernote removing headers, footers and advertisements.   The original web address is also saved so that you can return to the original page is you need to.

Next go back to the Chrome Web Store and search for Evernote Clearly.   This plugin creates a clean view of web pages that can be quickly sent to Evernote for reference or later reading.    The clearly icon will show up again in the Chrome Browser next to the address bar.   It looks like a desk lamp.    As an example of Clearly and Evernote working together here is an article from a tech news site in its original form:

As yo can see from this screen we end up only with the article title and two lines of the actual article on the screen.  Then we click the Clearly icon:

We are presented with a clean easy to read web page with no distractions.  Off to the right of the screen is a set of icons that we can use.  The top arrow takes us back to the original article, the Evernote icon quickly puts this page into our default Evernote folder, The Aa icon lets us adjust the display font and background for easier reading in different light.  Finally the print icon (never use that just send it to Evernote, we are trying to stop using paper remember)

Now we can head over to Evernote Web, the application we installed into Chrome in the first step, and we see the article.

Very nicely formatted for reading.   I can then head over to my phone or tablet and have the same article to read on the go.

Back in the Chrome browser click the wrench on the right of the address bar, head down to options, and then click extensions.   You will see the Evernote icon.   At the end of the description for Evernote Web Clipper there is an options link, click that.   This is where you can setup where to send information you clip.   But scroll down a bit, and there is an option for Use Simultaneous Search.  Check that box and save.    Now when you do a search, you notes will be included in the results.   That way you can find information that you have already seen and possibly made more notes in.  Cool.

Well that is my love of Google Chrome and Evernote.  When I first started using Evernote I kept checking to see when I would hit 50 notes, now I am on my way to 1000 notes.
