Abstract
A network device is onboarded to a Wi-Fi local area network (WLAN) including a WLAN router and a mobile device. An optical symbol displayed on the network device is scanned by the mobile device and used to obtain an onboarding network credential mapped to data encoded in the optical symbol. The onboarding network credential is provided to the WLAN router, which creates an onboarding Wi-Fi network based upon the onboarding network credential. A provisioning parameter is wirelessly conveyed to the network device via the onboarding Wi-Fi network, where the network device was pre-configured to communicate via the onboarding Wi-Fi network.
