Abstract
Customers at a premises attempting to connect a new wireless device, such as a mobile phone or tablet to an available wireless network (Wi-Fi), receive network login information such as an Wi-Fi SSID (service set identification) and Password through a system generated equivalent QR code that can then be scanned to automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network. The system receives a request for Wi-Fi settings at a premises, identifies customer equipment associated with the premises, identifies an Wi-Fi SSID (Service Set Identification) and password associated with the customer equipment, generates a QR (Quick Response) code representing the Wi-Fi SSID and password, sends the QR code to one or more devices associated with the premises for display and subsequent scanning at the premises.
