How guests use it
On an iPhone (iOS 11 or later), open the Camera, point it at the code, and tap the "Join network" banner. On Android (10 or later), open the Camera or the Google Lens app and tap the network that appears; on some phones the WiFi settings screen also has a QR scan button. Nothing needs to be installed.
What's in the code
A WiFi QR code is a short line of text in a standard format that phones recognise:
WIFI:T:WPA;S:YourNetwork;P:YourPassword;;. The T is the security type,
S the network name and P the password. Characters that have a special
meaning in that format, such as semicolons, colons and commas, are escaped automatically.
Because the password is written into the code, anyone who can see the code can join your network. Put it where you'd be happy to write the password itself: inside your home, behind the counter, or in a guest room, not in a window facing the street.
Tips
- Use a guest network if your router has one, so visitors can't reach your own computers and printers.
- Change the password? Make a new code. The old one will stop connecting, since the password is in the code itself.
- Print it at least 3 cm (about 1.2 inches) wide and test it with a phone before you laminate it.
Questions
Is it safe to type my WiFi password here?
Yes. The code is made by your browser, and nothing you type is sent to us, saved, or put in the page address. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
Does it work with WPA3?
Yes. Choose "WPA, WPA2 or WPA3". Current iPhones and Android phones join WPA3 networks from it.
My phone shows the text instead of joining.
Some older phones and third-party scanner apps don't understand WiFi codes. Try the built-in camera app, or update the phone. Check the network name too: it must match exactly, including capitals.
