WiFi QR Code Scanner PRO offers the same functionality as the the regular version, but adds some extra features:
- Retrieve the stored Wi-Fi profiles on your machine, display their details and generate a QR code to connect. This allows for easy transfer of profiles across Windows laptops or other devices.
- Import or export stored Wi-Fi profiles on your machine as XML profiles.
Currently no other features or functionality is added.
Warning: We have received information from users of the non-PRO WiFi QR Code Scanner app that some camera's may fail to initialize and not work. Please verify your machine is supported by installing the free version first!
WiFi QR Code Scanner allows you to scan and generate standard Wi-Fi QR Codes. Scan using your webcam and instantly connect to that network. Simply hold a Wi-Fi QR Code up to your webcam and click connect when scanned. Once scanned, the network will be saved by Windows for later re-connection.
These QR codes are often provided by your ISP or in public settings that offer Wi-Fi. You can also generate a Wi-Fi QR code using the 'Create QR Code' tab. For both scanning and generating, we use the de facto standard used by many other apps and platforms. This means you can use QR codes generated by other tools (such as https://qifi.org/) to scan, or use generated codes in the app on other platforms, such as iOS and Android.
Using this app, you can easily share your Wi-Fi connection with others and/or change your password frequently without the hassle of typing over the password every time. This can thus provide both convenience and strong security when using complex passwords.
Usage notes:
- For the connection functionality to work, you need to be close enough that your device can see the network to connect to. If you can see your network in the network list of Windows, you should be able to connect.
- If scanning from another display (such as a smartphone), you may need to adjust the brightness down for the code to be recognized.
- Make sure to fill the preview screen with the code.
- Retrieving stored Wi-Fi profiles may require your device to be set to English and the user to have administrator rights
