  5. Tap on ‘Connect.’

You’re now connected to the chosen Wi-Fi network.

Way 2: Connecting a Samsung device to a Wi-Fi network from Connection Settings

The procedure for connecting from Connection settings is very similar to the above (Way 1) process. You just have to locate the connection settings, after that the process the same.

You can use this QR code to connect other devices with the same Wi-Fi network without having to enter the password on them.
