How to create Wi-Fi QR codes

Generate Wi-Fi QR codes with SSID, password, and encryption settings so guests can join quickly.

Input checklist

  • Prepare exact SSID and password values.
  • Choose encryption mode that matches your router (WPA/WEP/No Password).
  • Enable hidden option only when your network is hidden.

Practical flow

  1. Choose Wi-Fi type in Generate mode.
  2. Fill SSID, password, encryption type, and hidden-network setting exactly.
  3. Generate the QR and scan it on a spare device to confirm it joins the right network.
  4. Download and print/share QR for office, event, or guest access.

Example

Input: SSID: Toolbye-Guest, WPA2 password, hidden=false.

Settings: 384px size, Q error correction for better scan tolerance.

Output: A printable Wi-Fi QR image that helps visitors connect in seconds.

Connection tips

  • Avoid placing private office passwords on posters visible to untrusted visitors.
  • Regenerate the QR after any router password or SSID change.
  • For busy venues, print a large code and keep enough quiet margin around it.

FAQ

Which encryption should I choose?

Match your router configuration. Most modern networks use WPA/WPA2.

Why can a device fail to connect after scanning?

SSID mismatch, wrong password, unsupported encryption, or hidden-network settings are common causes.
