Abstract
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing secure network configuration and/or secure network access using a user device. In various embodiments, after establishing a secure wireless connection with a local network device, in some cases, by scanning and decoding a barcode (including connectivity data for connecting with the local network device) that is affixed to, or displayed on a display device on, a surface of the local network device, the user device may configure the local network device with settings and configurations. The user device may also provide a new wireless device with connectivity data for connecting with the local network device, in some cases, by scanning and decoding another barcode on the new wireless device to establish a secure connection to send the connectivity data. The user device and/or the new wireless device may then access a network established by the (configured) local network device.
