※About the use of QR Code for Wi-Fi connection

  • Please note that QR Codes for Wi-Fi connections include a password for connection.
  • If your PC is connected to another Wi-Fi network, the connection destination switches to the Wi-Fi network specified by the QR Code.
  • You can also connect to a Wi-Fi network from the context menu on the History screen. (See 5.2 Context menu)
  • If the network name (SSID) includes a symbol, make sure that the correct symbol is specified for the SSID on the QR Code side for Wi-Fi connection. (e.g., connection cannot be established due to the difference between apostrophe and single quotation)
