How to generate a QR code with the Wi-Fi password on a AfriOne Cygnus X

If you want to share the password or key of the network your AfriOne Cygnus X is connected to, and quickly set it up on another Android device (whether it's a AfriOne or another brand), this tutorial will show you how. We'll guide you on using the native method included in Android 10 and later versions to generate a QR code with the Wi-Fi password.

The AfriOne Cygnus X comes with Android 9.0 out of the box, though it may have received updates over time.

Once you generate the QR code on your Cygnus X, you can scan it with the camera of the other device or download it as an image. This way, you can reuse the code whenever you need without repeating these steps.

In the final step, you'll also be able to view the password in case you need to copy it or manually enter it on another device that cannot read QR codes.

Estimated time: 2 minutes.

1- First step:

First of all, you must make sure that you are connected to the Wi-Fi network that you want to share from your AfriOne. If so, access the Cygnus X settings by tapping the gear wheel icon. If you do not see it on the AfriOne Cygnus X home screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to find it.

Final notes

Remember that you can generate a QR code for each different Wi-Fi network to which you connect from your AfriOne Cygnus X. If these steps to see the QR code of the Wi-Fi network on your AfriOne Cygnus X have not been useful, check again that the AfriOne Cygnus X is connected to the Wi-Fi network and not through the data connection.
