Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are provided that allow for access to a wireless computer network, such as a home or business network, via a communal device. The communal device retrieves network access information such as a PSK and provides a machine-readable code such as a QR code or bar code that automatically provides the access information to a user's device, thereby allowing access to the network with little or no user input required.
