§USE CASE / 02

How to give WiFi to customers without sharing the password?

Stick a QR on the wall or counter. The customer, guest or patient scans with their phone's native camera and joins your WiFi instantly. Works on Android, iPhone and most modern smartphones.

Still dictating the WiFi password to every guest?

Why dictate the password over and over again?

Dictating the WiFi password slows down service, creates typing errors and exposes the key to unwanted guests.

Dictating 'capital F, number one, exclamation mark...' to every customer is slow, error-prone and looks unprofessional. Coffee shops, hotels, clinics and coworking offices waste time every hour on this exchange.

QR with encoded SSID and password

A WiFi QR encodes the SSID and password. The guest scans and connects instantly without typing anything or bothering staff.

The generator encodes the network name (SSID), password and encryption type (WPA, WPA2, WEP, open) into a single QR. The guest's phone reads it and connects without anyone typing anything.

§HOW IT WORKS

How to create a WiFi QR?

Enter the network name and password in the generator, download the QR and print it where customers can scan it.

  1. 01

    Open the generator and choose the WiFi format.

  2. 02

    Enter the exact SSID (case sensitive) and the password.

  3. 03

    Select the encryption type (WPA2 is standard on home routers).

  4. 04

    Download the QR and print it on a sticker, sign or counter card.

§BENEFITS

Why a WiFi QR is worth it

The WiFi QR removes staff interruptions, prevents password typos and works on any iOS or Android phone without an app.

  • Instant connection: the guest takes 5 seconds to connect.
  • Zero typos when typing long passwords.
  • Professional image for hotels, restaurants and clinics.
  • A single sticker lasts months until you change the password.
  • Compatible with WPA2 and WPA3, current security standards.

§FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the WiFi QR

A WiFi QR encodes SSID and password in a single scannable code. The guest's phone connects automatically without typing or asking staff.

  • The password is encoded inside the QR, not visible as plain text. Anyone with the QR can connect, just like if you dictated the password. For guests in a public venue it's perfectly safe; for corporate networks use a separate guest network.

  • On Android 10 or later and iPhone with iOS 11 or later, the native camera recognizes the QR and offers to connect directly. On older versions or some Chinese phones it may need a QR scanning app that supports the WiFi format.

  • You need to generate a new QR with the updated password. The WiFi QR is static: it has the password encoded inside. If you use a dynamic QR pointing to a WiFi instructions page, you can update the destination without reprinting.

  • Yes. The generator supports WPA, WPA2, WPA3 and open networks. Select your router's encryption type when creating the QR. Most modern home routers use WPA2 or WPA3.
