Anyone know if this is possible? I have a QR code for Android devices so they can connect to my home wireless without me sharing passwords or SSIDs. Just point and click. Any info is appreciated

You should use NFC tags instead.

Thanks Snapz but that unfortunately only adds the SSID to the notepad app on BB10. NFC is a good idea. Anyone have info on how to setup NFC tags?

I'd be interested to see if someone can get the QR code method working. Our IT dept is testing out using QR codes to allow access to our WiFi by scanning the QR code. This QR code automatically connects the device to the WiFi network (even when secured by a password). It works for Android devices, but not BB10. NFC tags would probably work, but would be an expense and not everyone's phone currently has NFC, so some would be left out. QR codes are easy, free, and work with all phones.

My thoughts exactly kyle. I hope someone who has background doing this sort of thing can comment.

Very easy, just open the Smart Tags app from BlackBerry, select Wi-Fi :

Fill the form :

And write the tag... done.

At Amazon, you will find stickers, coins, keychains, etc... Be aware that there is specifications for each tags. If you have a very very very long WAP password, choose tags with enough memory.
