To connect to a Wi-Fi network in Windows 10/11 we normally click on the network icon in the taskbar, then select the desired Wi-Fi network and after that we enter the password if it is a new network. But this is a process that can be annoying for many users because if for some reason the automatic connection has not been established you must enter the password every time we connect to that network, let's remember that in today's world there are many passwords to manage and it is possible that we forget the Wi-Fi network affecting access to the network and thus not allowing us to make use of the different online tasks..
There is a much simpler method to connect to the Wi-Fi network is through a QR code, this is located on the modem or router and by default within the modem configuration there are already the security parameters to facilitate connectivity. That is why we are going to show you How to connect my PC to WiFi with QR code easily.
TechnoWikis will teach you how to connect your PC or laptop to a Wi-Fi network using the QR code and have a simple but equally reliable access alternative..

2 How to connect my PC to WiFi with QR code without camera

Note
TechnoWikis advises you to cut only the QR code to make it easier to recognize.
