Introduced in release 2021.6, this menu makes it easy to produce and print QR codes to identify your WiFi network to client devices. Modern devices can connect to WiFi by simply pointing the camera at a QR code. The QR code contains all the information needed to establish the connection, including SSID and password. This can be useful in venues like Internet cafes, hostels/hotels, or even at house parties. Basically, anywhere where the sharing of WiFi credentials needs to be easy.

In this menu, there are tabs which represent the number of physical/virtual SSIDs enabled on your device. Make sure to select the correct tab/SSID for your context (for example, the guest SSID).

Show WiFi Logo: This switches on or off the display of the WiFi logo at the top of the menu, which can be helpful when printing. The logo makes it easy to identify what this QR code is for. (Default: On).

Show WiFi Password: If enabled, this will display the WiFi password on the page in clear text. This can be helpful if the client device doesn't support WiFi QR codes (Default: Off).

Print: This button sends the relevant part of the QR page to the physical printer you choose. This is useful for physically posting the information at a venue or location.

The text under the QR code can be edited inline. Just click on it and type. It's specifically designed to be customized. This can be very helpful, for example, if you need to translate the instructions to a different language.

Any editing of the message is not saved, so it wont survive a menu refresh. However, it is good enough to be printed while on this page.
