Surely you'd then have the same issues securing the WiFi of that AP

I'm sure it is simple to disable the WPS but what is it?

Allows you to connect and pair a wireless device to your AP/router with the 'press of a button' without the need of peeing around entering wireless details etc. The problem is, is that it's massively flawed and leaves a nice big gaping hole to your network.
