A WiFi QR code carries your network name, password and security type. When a guest scans it, their phone offers to join the network. There is no spelling out of a long password and no “is that a zero or an O?”.
Hotels, serviced apartments, cafés, coworking spaces and offices in Dubai use them on room cards, tables and reception desks. Because the data is stored inside the code, it never expires and has no scan limit.
How to create a WiFi QR code
- Choose WiFi in the generator.
- Enter the network name (SSID) exactly as it appears, the password and the security type, usually WPA/WPA2.
- Tick “hidden” only if the network does not broadcast its name.
- Download, print and place the code where guests need it, then test on two phones.
Where to put a WiFi QR code
- Hotel rooms and lobbies and holiday-home welcome cards.
- Café and restaurant tables.
- Office reception and meeting rooms for visitors.
- Events and coworking spaces with a guest network.
Tips for a QR code that scans first time
- Use a guest network rather than your main one, and change the password if a printed code is shared widely.
- The code is only as private as the paper it is printed on, so avoid putting a staff network on public signs.
- If the password changes, you need a new code, so print on removable cards rather than permanent signs.
Frequently asked questions
Does a WiFi QR code work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Both open a prompt to join the network from the camera.
Can I make a WiFi QR code without a password?
Yes. Choose the open network option.
Does the WiFi QR code expire?
No. If the network name and password stay the same, it works indefinitely.
Is my WiFi password stored on your server?
In the free no-sign-up tool nothing is stored. The password is used only to calculate the code.
