Guest WiFi using a QR code

~ cafebedouin

On my home network I have guest WiFi configured and when guests come round they need to know the password. Happily there’s a way to make this trivial: WiFi QR codes.”

Easy enough. I used SecScanQR on F-Droid.

  1. Click Generate.
  2. Select Text.
  3. Type in the following replacing <SSID> and <Password>: WIFI:S:<SSID>;T:WPA2;P:<PASSWORD>;H:false;;
  4. Click Generate.
  5. Click Save, or Share to your printer.
  6. Put the QR code in a frame and hang it.
