How to create a QR code for WiFi

A WiFi QR code lets guests connect to your network by scanning the code, without typing the password. Perfect for cafés, B&Bs, offices, waiting rooms or just guests at home.

Steps

  1. 1

    Gather the network details: name (SSID), password and security type (usually WPA/WPA2).

  2. 2

    Generate the WiFi QR by entering these details.

  3. 3

    Customise and download the code in high resolution.

  4. 4

    Print and display the QR where needed: reception, tables, fridge, meeting room.

How scanning works

When a guest points their phone camera at the code, a connection prompt appears: they just confirm. No passwords dictated out loud or written on a scrap of paper.

Practical tips

  • Security: a WiFi QR exposes the password to anyone who scans it. For public venues, consider a separate guest network from your internal one.
  • Size: at least 2.5 cm on each side for reliable scanning.
  • Add a label like "Free WiFi — scan to connect".
  • Password change: if you change the network password, you'll need to regenerate the QR.
