less than 1 minute read

This should work with iOS 11+ and recent Android versions.

Simply open the phone camera and point at the QR Code. A message should pop up asking if you want to connect to Wifi.

The actual text encoded in the QR code for a Wifi connection is…

WIfI:S:<SSID>;T:<WPA|WEP|>;P:<password>;;
