Updated 3 min read

Quick answer

Enter your network name and password in a QR generator, choose Wi-Fi, and print the code. Guests scan it with their camera app and join.

Open the tool

Step by step

  1. Open the QR code generator and choose Wi-Fi as the type.
  2. Type the network name exactly as it appears, and the password.
  3. Download the code as PNG to print, or SVG for sharp printing at any size.
  4. Stick it somewhere guests can see it, and test it with your own phone first.

Tips

  • iPhones and Android phones read QR codes with the normal camera app.
  • Anyone who can see the code can join, so put it inside, not in a window.
  • Change your Wi-Fi password? Make a new code.

If something goes wrong

Phones see the code but won’t join.

Check the network name and password, including capital letters, and that the security type matches your router (usually WPA).
