Abstract
The embodiments herein relate to a network device, an access point and methods thereof for facilitating connection to a WiFi network. The method performed by the network device includes: detecting an access point provided with a service set identifier (SSID); connecting to said access point using said SSID; performing an authentication process towards an authentication and control server for verifying a unique certificate of the network device, which is paired with a corresponding certificate in said server; and in case the authentication process is successful, generating a unique identification information for enabling a user equipment to scan said unique identification information.
