Wi-Fi QR code guide
Lets someone join your Wi-Fi network by scanning, with no typing.
Best uses
- Cafés and guest houses
- Office guest networks
- Holiday lets
How to create it
- Open the generator — this type is already selected for you.
- Enter the network name exactly as it appears.
- Choose the security type and enter the password.
- Pick colours and a style, keeping the code dark on a light background.
- Wait for the green "scans correctly" check, then download the PNG.
- Test the printed code with your own phone before sharing it widely.
What information is required
- Network name (SSID)
- Required. Case-sensitive — copy it exactly.
- Security
- WPA/WPA2 for most home and business routers. Choose 'No password' for open networks.
- Password
- Required unless the network is open. Case-sensitive.
- Hidden network
- Tick only if your network doesn't broadcast its name.
Example

- CornerCafe-Guest
- Security:
- WPA/WPA2
- Password:
- coffee2026
Tips
- If you change the Wi-Fi password, you'll need a new code.
- Use a separate guest network rather than your main one.
- Very old phones may need a QR scanner app.
