On my Note 8 this feature works directly in the stock camera app. I didn't know about this, but I just tested it on the linked site and it works.

That's strange. I just tried it on my Note 9. It recognizes the QR code but just displays the unformatted WiFi string. Doesn't attempt to connect at all.

Very odd! I tested a friend's Note 9 and it works there too. Both phones are on T-Mobile with their latest Android update.

The Note 9 is Android 10, One UI 2.0, build QP1A.190711.020.N960USQS3DTB2.

The Note 8 is Android 9, One UI 1.0, build PPR1.180610.011.N950USQU7DTC1.

The QR code that it initially displays is invalid, type any text into the SSID/pass fields and it will work

This was likely the issue. I was testing it on the Netgear Orbi which seems to have a malformed string in their we codes.
