About wifi qr code
A WiFi QR code lets guests join your network by scanning, with no password to read out or type. It suits homes, cafes, offices and rental properties.
What the code stores
The code holds the network name (SSID), the password and the security type in a standard format that iPhone and Android cameras understand. Choose WPA/WPA2 for almost every modern router, WEP only for very old equipment, and none for an open network. Tick the hidden option if your network does not broadcast its name.
Good practice
- Spell the network name and password exactly, including capital letters.
- Test the code with a phone that has not joined the network before printing.
- Use a separate guest network, so visitors do not reach your own devices.
- Anyone who sees the code can read the password from it, so do not display it where strangers can scan it.
If you change the password
A static code does not update itself. Generate and print a new code when you change the router password.
Made in your browser
The code is created on your device, so what you type is not sent to our servers.
