How to Build a Free Resume Online (With Templates)
You know that awkward moment when someone asks for your WiFi password and you have to spell out a long string of letters and numbers? "It's a big B, a small r, the number 7, and an exclamation point..." This problem is solved forever by a WiFi QR code generator. Guests just have to scan the code to connect. All done. How QR Codes for WiFi Work The QR code changes your network name (SSID), password, and security type into a format that smartphones can read right away.
When someone scans it with their phone camera, it automatically asks if they want to join the network. No typing and no "was that a zero or the letter O?" confusion. You don't need a special app to use this on either an iPhone (iOS 11+) or an Android phone. Just tap the notification and point the camera at the code.
Getting It Ready You need to give the WiFi QR code generator three things: Name of the network (SSID) — Just like it looks in your WiFi settings. It's case-sensitive, so check again. Password: This is the password for your WiFi. You can check that you typed it correctly by using the tool to show or hide it.
Type of security: For home networks, it's usually WPA or WPA2. Look at your router settings if you're not sure (it's almost always WPA2). Click "generate" to get a QR code that you can print or show. I've seen people get creative with this when it comes to where to put it.
Some well-known places: Put it near the front door so that guests can see it when they arrive. Put it on a card and leave it on the nightstand in the guest room. Put it on the fridge because that's where everyone goes at house parties. Restaurants and cafes: You can print it out on table tents or stick it on the wall.
Much better than the "ask your server for the password" thing Airbnb listings: Include them in the welcome guide. Guests love it. Office reception areas are professional and useful.
Is it safe
Anyone who can see the QR code can connect to your network because it has your password in it. That's like putting the password on a sticky note, which is what most people do anyway. If you're worried, you could set up a guest network on your router with a different password and only use the QR code for that network. You can also make a new QR code every time you change your password.
It takes about ten seconds. Choices for customization You can change the colors of the QR code and add a small logo in the middle with the generator. If you're printing it for a business or want it to match your decor, these are nice touches. You can get the code in PNG or SVG format for printing.
