Distribute wifi

We sent out an email to our uses who had Android phones reminding them to have Barcode Scanner installed. With the exception of a few older devices, the Android devices took the least amount of time.

In addition to that it looks as if the information will not be displayed for the WiFi connection so it's a bit more secure. I think this might be the first actually useful application of QR codes that I've seen. Nice work! What code scanner did they use? T:WPA" but never does anything else. I would feel a lot better if this just configured the device to use the Wifi instead of showing them the key.

I'm hoping that's not just wishful thinking. Tony the scanner we used is listed in the References section above. Also you will not be able to keep them from seeing the key which is why I suggested not downloading or sharing this app. Our code is so outrageously complicated that I had to come up with a quicker solution.

Your mileage may vary. I didn't realize there were so many options for a QR code. Hope to see an iPhone version of this soon! Very nice. Going to have to check this out.

Note on your reference to the barcode scanner. I just copied the link location and took out the extra http: and added a colon after the https and it directed me to the app. Nice write-up, it's a shame there's no iPhone equivalent. On the other hand, I rarely see QR codes, so QR Codes are gaining in popularity. I have an app for this on my iPhone.

Thanks for the tip. Now I don't have to be using my phone to make one! I can see how this would be useful if you had a number of guests attending a venue and wanted to offer use of the wifi independant from the corporate network. Or had a special guest network for making presentation materials or online resources available for access. You could generate a new SSID and password for each occasion hosted and just print off the appropriate QR code and paste it up by the door on the way in.

Reply Mobile tablets will help select older adults access virtual programs and online services, and help limit social isolation.
