To get back on topic, not sure how to apply that to my WiFi settings
though ...

Unfortunately, while Carlos & Dave Royal showed (on the Android ng) that
you can "share" Wi-Fi configuration QR codes for any given
currently-connected access point, I think Android requires rooting in order
to access the Wi-Fi config file (which is where settings are stored.

I have the best search engine on the planet but without using regular
expressions (which Java Jive can do) it found "too many" hits because
"Wi-Fi" in any search will catch too many things, even when filtered.

However, in Skyica App Finder I did see this supposed Wi-Fi backup app.

It doesn't require root for most things, but it needs it for the Wi-Fi
backup (so it may be an Android limitation that you have to be rooted).

Sigh.
