FOTOS + "Join WLAN" mode not working

Hi guys!

I've been trying to use my Q (firmware 3.1) with the FOTOS app on both my iPad and iPhone in "Join WLAN" mode but I've been hitting a wall so far. The setup work ok in "Create WLAN" mode with the app recognising the QR code fine but I was hoping I could get a stronger / more stable connection by going through the home router.

Anyone managed to make it work?

I should add that when trying to read the QR code while in "Join WLAN" mode with another QR code reader app this is the content I'm getting:

DEVICE-NAME: Leica Q-5*****8
MODEL-NAME: LEICA Q (Typ 116)
SSID: P****e

Where "P****e" is my Wifi network name (obfuscated name). Could it be missing something?

FYI, this is the content of the QR code when in "Create WLAN" mode:

MDL: LCW-1

SSID: Leica Q-5*****8
PW: 1******8

You cannot access Fotos through a WiFi network, only by direct connection.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

I see, thanks! But what is the "Join WLAN" mode for then? Is there another use-case for it?
