How to generate a QR code with the Wi-Fi password on a DOK D201

We'll guide you on using the native method included in Android 10 and later versions to generate a QR code with the Wi-Fi password.

The DOK D201 comes with Android 5.1 out of the box, though it may have received updates over time.

Once you generate the QR code on your D201, you can scan it with the camera of the other device or download it as an image. This way, you can reuse the code whenever you need without repeating these steps.
