The QR code an be used to share the wireless&nbsp;configuration to some friends&nbsp;or visitors, the feature to load a wireless config from a QR code is&nbsp;not often implemented, it's not&nbsp;available&nbsp;by default neither on iOS nor on Android.

Genie App is not intended to assist with the initial connection of the mobile device to the WiFi/router - this has to be done using the means in place by the mobile OS maker.

Again, this is not to connect the Genie App to the router - much more this is the place where you can change the WIFi Name, Network Key (misleadingly&nbsp;named password), the router AP security, and select the channel to be used.However, at this point I would guess the mobile is connected, the Genie App is authenticated and can talk to the router - otherwise this conrol would not become accessible.

Again, most mobile devices don't offer the ability to scan this QR code to register another wireless network.
Beyond of some 3rd party Apps, you might be able to use the Genie App on another mobile device, select QR Scanner - this should allow to read and set the wireless config accordingly, permitting to connect the other device to the router WiFi.&nbsp;
