We used the following method to distribute our corporate wireless network to our new mobile devices.
The New Generation Stream is a smart device, that offers accessibility to low-vision and blind users. But all of these new features rely on a working WiFi connection. So, like other wireless devices, you must program the Victor Reader Stream to connect to wireless networks. But these networks can change as you move from place to place. Enter the wireless Network name (SSID) you want to add. Select the Security type used for this wireless network. Enter the Security key (password) for this wireless network. Check or uncheck Start this connection automatically for what you want to set for this wireless network when it's within range. Dec 17, 2010 The wireless key is not written on the pluglink adapter. If you want to change your password, network name or wireless key, you need to log into the U-verse RG and use the password information printed on the label on the side of the RG.
**Please note that distributing this QR code could result in your corporate wireless network security being compromised.**
Please use your best judgement on how to distribute the code and secure your wireless network as needed.
7 Steps total
Step 1: Gather WiFi Details
To distribute a QR code for WiFi you will need the following:
How To Find My Wireless Key
SSID
Password for SSID
Network Type (in this example WEP)
Step 2: Locate a QR Code Generator
We used this site:
http://www.qrstuff.com/
Step 3: Select Data Type
You can see in the screenshot that there are loads of options available.
In our case select Wifi Login (Android Only)*
*We do not use iDevices here so I cannot comment on whether or not this will work for iDevices or if there is a way to make this work.
Step 4: Select Content
Enter the following:
SSID
Password
Network Type
Step 5: Optional - Select Colors for your QR Code
I skipped this step but if you would like to make your QR code pretty adjust that here.
Step 6: NOT RECOMMENDED - Optional - Download QR Code
I left the website up as is on my laptop during our presentation so folks could scan the QR code only during my presentation.
If you have a Guest network that is not tied to your corporate network you could certainly make this code accessible more freely but I still don't recommend it.
Step 7: Scan the Barcode with Barcode Scanner or other App
This is self explanatory but you actually have to scan the code for this to work. The screenshot shows what happens when you do that.
I didn't plan it but I got a picture of SpiceRex approving of QR Codes

For our situation this was the best option to do a mass distribution of our corporate WiFi to our new Android users. Please consider all security risks before implementing this in your own environment.
Prerequisites:
Android Device
Bar Code Scanner
Ssid Code For Wireless Connection
Update - 8/7/2012 - We rolled out a new wireless code today to all of our users. We sent out an email to our uses who had Android phones reminding them to have Barcode Scanner installed. With the exception of a few older devices, the Android devices took the least amount of time.
In addition to that it looks as if the information will not be displayed for the WiFi connection so it's a bit more secure.

awesome. Thanks for sharing (and doing so so quickly).

I think this might be the first actually useful application of QR codes that I've seen. Nice work!

What code scanner did they use? I tried using this with the built in AT&T code scanner and it just sits there saying 'connecting to..T:WPA' but never does anything else. However, QR Barcode Scanner says Not Recognized but shows the SSID and the key. I would feel a lot better if this just configured the device to use the Wifi instead of showing them the key. I'm hoping that's not just wishful thinking.

@Tony the scanner we used is listed in the References section above. Also you will not be able to keep them from seeing the key which is why I suggested not downloading or sharing this app.
Our code is so outrageously complicated that I had to come up with a quicker solution. Your mileage may vary.

Nice. I didn't realize there were so many options for a QR code. Hope to see an iPhone version of this soon!
- DatilAlex1318 Mar 30, 2012 at 08:36am
nice how-to could be useful

Very nice. Going to have to check this out. Note on your reference to the barcode scanner. It's giving a broken link (it's trying to go to http://https//play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.zxing.client.android&hl=en ). I just copied the link location and took out the extra http: and added a colon after the https and it directed me to the app. Get microsoft office professional 2010 product key generator.

Very cool. Thanks for the share.

Nice write-up, it's a shame there's no iPhone equivalent. On the other hand, I rarely see QR codes, so..
- DatilMHB Apr 9, 2012 at 12:58pm
skamage I fixed the link. Thanks!
- HabaneroLauren7060 Jun 5, 2012 at 03:09pm
Great idea! I like this a lot!
- JalapenoPizzaman7 Jun 5, 2012 at 03:17pm
QR Codes are gaining in popularity. I have an app for this on my iPhone. Thanks for the tip. Now I don't have to be using my phone to make one !
- HabaneroDashrender Jun 5, 2012 at 03:39pm
Great Tip, very clever!
- HabaneroHubba Bubba Jun 7, 2012 at 02:47am
Great idea, a use for QR codes at last
- JalapenoGraeme484 Jun 7, 2012 at 10:53am
I can see how this would be useful if you had a number of guests attending a venue and wanted to offer use of the wifi independant from the corporate network. Or had a special guest network for making presentation materials or online resources available for access.
You could generate a new SSID and password for each occasion hosted and just print off the appropriate QR code and paste it up by the door on the way in.
