Abstract
A Quick Recognition (QR) code scanner is activated on a computing device. A user specific QR code is scanned using the QR code scanner. User specific data that is encoded in the QR code is extracted from the scanned QR code. The computing device is configured to access a local area network based on the user specific data extracted from the scanned QR code. The computing device is register, over the local area network, with a server using the user specific data extracted from the scanned QR code. User specific configuration information is received at the computing device from the server. The computing device is configured using the received configuration information.
