-This page, starting in 2021.6, makes it easy to produce and print QR codes linked to identify your WiFi network to client devices. Modern devices are able to connect to Wi-Fi by simply pointing the camera to a QR code. The QR code contains all the information needed to establish the connection, including SSID and password.
