QR Code for Wi-Fi
Stop spelling out your Wi-Fi password. Create a QR code that connects guests to your network in one scan — perfect for homes, offices, cafés, and Airbnbs. Supports WPA, WPA2, WEP, and open networks.
Why use a QR code for wifi?
No more password hassles
Guests scan the code and connect automatically. No asking for the password, no typos, no frustration.
Secure sharing
The QR code contains your network name and password, but you never have to say it out loud or write it on a whiteboard.
Works everywhere
Print it for your Airbnb welcome packet, frame it in your office, or stick it on your café counter.

Example in practice
A couple runs a small Airbnb in Lisbon. They frame a Wi-Fi QR code next to the front door alongside the house rules. Every guest who arrives scans the code and connects to the network in seconds — no awkward texts asking for the password, no handwritten notes that get lost. When they change their password every few months, they print a fresh code and swap it into the frame.
Tips
- •Double-check the network name — it must match exactly, including capitalization.
- •Use WPA/WPA2 encryption for security. Avoid open networks.
- •For Airbnbs, include it in your printed house guide and frame one near the entrance.
- •Print large enough for guests to scan from arm's length — at least 3 × 3 cm.
Frequently asked questions
Is sharing Wi-Fi via QR code secure?
The QR code contains your network credentials, so treat the printed code like you'd treat your password. Place it where only your guests can see it — not in a public-facing window.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Both iOS and Android natively support Wi-Fi QR codes. The phone connects to the network automatically after scanning.
What if I change my Wi-Fi password?
You'll need to generate and print a new QR code with the updated password. The old code will stop working.
Can I create a QR code for a guest network?
Yes, and it's recommended. Most routers let you set up a separate guest network. Create a QR code for that network so visitors get internet access without being on your main network.
Does the Wi-Fi QR code work with hidden networks?
Yes. The QR code contains the network name and password, so the phone can connect even if the network is hidden and doesn't broadcast its SSID.
