Wi‑Fi QR code for your network
Guests point their camera at the code and join your Wi‑Fi without asking for the password.
What is your QR code for?
Stays on this device. It is written into the code, never sent to us.
Make one in three steps
- Type the network name exactly as it shows on your phone.
- Choose the security type and enter the password, or pick No password.
- Download, print and put it where guests can scan it easily.
What goes inside the code
An example, using sample details:
WIFI:T:WPA;S:Example Kitchen Guest;P:scones\;and\,tea;;
- Make a separate guest network
- Most routers can run a guest network alongside your main one. Put that on the code, so visitors never get onto the network your tills, printers or cameras use.
- Copy the name exactly
- Network names are case sensitive, and a stray space stops phones joining. Check capitals, spaces and symbols against what your phone lists. Special characters in the name or password are escaped for you.
- Reprint after a password change
- The password lives inside the pattern, so a new password means a new code. Keep the file somewhere handy and print a fresh copy whenever you change it.
Common questions
Which phones can scan a Wi‑Fi QR code?
iPhones on iOS 11 or later join from the built-in Camera app. Android phones join from the camera or Google Lens. Tap the prompt that appears and the phone connects without anyone typing the password.
Is my Wi‑Fi password safe?
The code is built in your browser and the password never leaves your device, so we never see it. Anyone who can scan the printed code can join, though, so only put it where you are happy for people to connect.
What if my network is hidden?
Switch on Hidden network before you download. That tells the phone to look for a network that does not broadcast its name. Type the name carefully, because the phone cannot pick it from a list.
