How to generate a QR code with the Wi-Fi password on a Xiaomi Mi 5 High Edition

If you want to share the password or key of the network your Xiaomi Mi 5 High Edition is connected to, and quickly set it up on another Android device (whether it's a Xiaomi or another brand), this tutorial will show you how. 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 Xiaomi Mi 5 High Edition comes with Android 7.0 out of the box, though it may have received updates over time.

Once you generate the QR code on your Mi 5 High Edition, 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.

Estimated time: 2 minutes.

1- First step:

First of all, you must make sure that you are connected to the Wi-Fi network that you want to share from your Xiaomi. If so, access the Mi 5 High Edition settings by tapping the gear wheel icon. If you do not see it on the Xiaomi Mi 5 High Edition home screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to find it.
