Microsoft could release a new feature for Windows 11 that would make connecting to Wi-Fi networks much faster and easier. Users will soon be able to join new networks by scanning a QR code with the camera app, eliminating the need to search for (or remember) complicated passwords and keep track of which password belongs to which network.
According MSPoweruser The feature is part of the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview build 26052. The Windows Insider Program is a community that allows Windows enthusiasts and developers to get early access to potential new features and provide feedback before these features are available to regular Windows 11 users.
The build was made available to development channels at Preview Build in early February, demonstrating how users can point their phone's camera at a QR code displayed on a laptop or PC already connected to Wi-Fi, and a pop-up window will appear. on their phones that will allow them to connect to the Wi-Fi network without having to enter any password.
This also works with the Camera app in Windows 11, allowing you to connect new Windows 11 devices to the wireless network (either by using a QR code displayed on a connected device or by scanning the QR code sometimes included with devices). new routers and printed). in their manuals). Of course, those devices will need a camera, which won't be too difficult for Windows 11 tablets and laptops, although perhaps a little cumbersome. Desktop PCs will be more difficult, but you can add a camera to your computer; Check out our guide to the best webcams for our top picks.
Sharing is showing interest
The feature should also work for mobile hotspots, so you'll be able to share your connection much faster when you're working on the go with other team members or collaborating on group projects for school outside of the classroom. One of my least favorite parts of setting up a new device or working outdoors is fiddling with Wi-Fi, so I'm pretty excited about this feature.
We have to keep in mind that often some of the features that are included in the development channels do not actually reach the public.
That said, we hope the feature comes to regular Windows 11 soon, because it's an incredibly convenient way to make Wi-Fi sharing much easier and ensure that other people can connect to your network without having to be given the password. which means this method is also more convenient.
