A few days ago we saw that the iPhone camera with iOS 11 was capable of reading QR codes, which is undoubtedly an advantage for users who use this type of code to tag, advertise, share or even connect to a WiFi network. Simply focusing the camera of our iPhone on the back of the routers that have a QR code on the back, we can quickly connect thanks to the new camera feature in iOS 11.
Once the read notification appears, we simply click on it and the iPhone will connect to the network automatically, logically it will be necessary for the router to have the source password. There is also no need to worry if we have changed the password as we can always create our own QR code.
When the new iOS 11 reaches all iPhone users (or if you are right now with a beta and want to try it) you can create the code of our router, leave it saved as a capture or printed on paper to share it with our guests and that they too can connect without having to touch the router or enter the password manually.
To create a QR with the home WiFi password it is necessary to have an application or tool, in this case you we pass a web in case your router does not have a QR code and enter three pieces of information about our network in the code that we generate: the name of the router (known as SSID), the password that we have set and the type of security that we have applied (WPA, WPA2, etc). With these three data we can use the camera of our iPhone in iOS 11 to connect to the network of any router.
A user of Reddit shared the news on this popular site and confirms that Now you can quickly and effortlessly join a Wi-Fi network using QR code scanning with iOS 11 beta on your iPhone. Do you try it?
