What is the purpose for the QR Code on the SBR-AC1200P?
Answer
The QR code is a two dimensional bar code consisting of black and white squares and is located on the label on the bottom of the SBR-AC1200P. Â When scanned with a QR reader app such as the ARRIS SURFboard Manager it allows for the configuring of the SURFboard router's home network quick and easy. Â With just a few steps the network settings can be customized from a smartphone or tablet. Â The ARRIS SURFboard Manager app is available through Google Play and App Store. Â Â
NOTE:Â Other 3rd party QR readers are available through the Google Play or App Store.
Depending on the QR reader the QR code on the SBR-AC1200P can provide the following information:
Encryption type
WiFi Network Name (SSID)
WiFi Passcode (Key)
Default Username
Default Password
Model Number
MAC Address
NOTE: Depending on the QR reader, a profile may be created for the WiFi Network Name (SSID) and WiFi Passcode (Key).  When the Wi-Fi is enabled on the smart device it will connect automatically.  Some feature may not be applicable on all 3rd party QR readers. Â
