How to make a Wi-Fi QR code
- Type your network name (SSID) exactly as it appears in your Wi-Fi list — it's case-sensitive.
- Choose the security type (usually WPA/WPA2/WPA3) and enter the password.
- Wait for Scan verified, then download and print.
- Test it: scan with a phone that isn't already connected (or “forget” the network first).
Where to put it
Reception desks, café tables, Airbnb welcome books, meeting rooms and classroom doors. Print it at least 3 × 3 cm for close-range scanning; see our print size guide.
