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

Thanks fir the info but I am not quite sure how this helps me with my situation , my goal is to connect my genie app with my wifi again- schumakuSep 01, 2018Guru - Experienced User
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.

Yes thanks for that and I understand what you are saying but my iOS is connected to the wifi but the genie app won’t connect , when I go into my app - wifi - name - security - channel and fill in appropriate details , I still have the problem where it saids at the base of the page to scan QR code to connect which I am unsure how to do thIs , I keep getting a pop up say “ this action failed , try again “
