Why use a WiFi QR code?
Typing long passwords on a phone is a pain. A WiFi QR code stores your network name and password in a format phones read right away. Your guest scans once, taps once, and connects.
Use this for guest networks at cafes, Airbnb listings, office lobbies, event venues, and home visits. The code is static. Your credentials are built into the image, so it works offline and never expires.
- Cafes and restaurants: print on table tents or menus
- Offices: post near reception for visitor WiFi
- Events: add to signage so attendees connect fast
- Airbnb and rentals: laminate a card by the router
- Home: stick a label near your router for guests
WiFi QR field reference
| Field | Required? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Network name (SSID) | Yes | Exact name as shown in your router settings |
| Password | Yes for secured networks | Leave empty only for open networks |
| Encryption | Yes | WPA/WPA2 for most home and office routers |
| Hidden network | Optional | Enable if your SSID is not broadcast |
Printing tips for WiFi codes
Place the QR at eye level where people sit or wait. Test a printed sample on both iPhone and Android before you print a full batch. Use SVG export for sharp table tents and wall posters.
If you add a logo, the generator raises error correction so the code still scans through the center image.
