How to Create a Wi-Fi QR Code for Your Home or Office
Let guests join your Wi-Fi with a single scan — no passwords to share, no typing required.
20 June 2026⏱ 4 min read
"What's the Wi-Fi password?" is probably the most common question asked in homes, offices, cafes, and hotels around the world. A Wi-Fi QR code eliminates this question entirely. Guests simply point their phone camera at the QR code, tap the notification, and they're connected — no typing, no errors, no frustration.
What is a Wi-Fi QR Code?
A Wi-Fi QR code encodes your network credentials (network name, password, and security type) into a scannable image. When a smartphone camera detects the code, it prompts the user to join the network immediately — even without unlocking the phone on many modern devices.
This feature is supported natively on:
iPhone — iOS 11 and above (just use the Camera app)
Android — Android 10 and above (Camera app works; older versions may need a QR scanner app)
Step-by-Step: How to Create a Wi-Fi QR Code
Go to GetGMBreview.com and click the Wi-Fi tab in the QR code generator.
Enter your Wi-Fi Network Name (SSID) — this is the name that appears in your Wi-Fi list.
Enter your Wi-Fi Password.
Select your Security Type — WPA/WPA2 is the most common for modern routers. Use WEP only for very old routers. Select "None" for open networks.
Click Generate — your QR code appears instantly.
Click Download PNG or Download SVG to save the image.
Print it and place it somewhere visible — near the entrance, on a table, or framed on the wall.
🔒 Security Note: Your Wi-Fi password is encoded directly into the QR code image. Anyone who scans it will be able to join your network. For guest networks, consider creating a separate guest Wi-Fi on your router and generating a QR code for that instead — keeping your main network secure.
How to Find Your Wi-Fi Network Name and Password
If you're not sure what your Wi-Fi details are:
Check your router: Most routers have a sticker on the bottom or back with the default SSID and password.
Check your phone (Android): Go to Settings → Wi-Fi → tap your connected network → Share → a QR code appears (you can also get the password here).
Check your phone (iPhone): Go to Settings → Wi-Fi → tap the (i) next to your network → Password → authenticate with Face ID to see it.
Check your router settings: Log into your router's admin panel (usually at 192.168.1.1) to find or change your Wi-Fi name and password.
Best Places to Display Your Wi-Fi QR Code
🏠 Home
Frame it and hang it near the front door or in the living room. Guests can connect as soon as they arrive.
☕ Cafe & Restaurant
Place it on tables, the menu, or the counter. Reduces staff time spent answering the Wi-Fi question.
🏢 Office
Post it in the reception area or conference room for easy guest access. Use a separate guest network for security.
🏨 Hotel & Airbnb
Include it in the welcome card or place it on the bedside table. Reduces calls to reception for Wi-Fi details.
Tips for the Best Results
Print the QR code at a minimum size of 5cm x 5cm for reliable scanning.
Use a laminator to protect the printout from moisture and wear.
Ensure good lighting where the QR code is placed — it won't scan well in the dark.
If you change your Wi-Fi password, generate a new QR code — the old one will stop working.
Test it with multiple phones before placing it permanently.
