Create a Wi-Fi QR code for a home, office, clinic, studio, guest house, café, or event venue. Compatible phones can read the network name and security details from the code and offer to connect, saving guests from typing a long password.
The network name is case-sensitive, and the security setting must match the router. Treat the printed code like a displayed password: share it only where visitors are meant to access the network, and use a guest network when possible.
How to use this tool
- Enter the exact Wi-Fi network name (SSID).
- Choose the matching security type and enter the password if required.
- Generate and test the code on a device that is not already connected.
Practical guidance
This format is most convenient for guest networks in cafés, accommodation, clinics, event venues, and shared workspaces. A dedicated guest SSID is preferable to exposing your primary home or office network. The security option must reflect the router settings, and a network name containing punctuation should be entered exactly as the access point broadcasts it.
Checks before you use the output
Test the code with a phone that has not previously joined the network, because already-connected devices can make an incorrect setup look successful. If it fails, re-check uppercase and lowercase characters, the password, the security mode, and whether the network is hidden. Display the code only in places where sharing access is intended.
Questions and answers
Will it work with a hidden Wi-Fi network?
Some devices can connect to a hidden network from QR data, but compatibility varies. Test the code with the actual phones your guests use.
Is the Wi-Fi password visible in the code?
The password is encoded in the QR data. Anyone who scans or decodes the code may be able to retrieve it, so display it thoughtfully.
Can guests scan the code if the network is hidden?
Support varies by device and network settings. Test with a guest phone before displaying the code, and confirm that the router’s SSID and security mode match the encoded details.
