How to Create a WiFi QR Code (Step-by-Step)

A WiFi QR code lets guests connect to your network by scanning instead of typing a password β€” useful for cafes, waiting rooms, Airbnbs, and offices where you’d otherwise be reciting a password out loud all day.

What you need before you start

  • Your network name (SSID) β€” exactly as it appears when you search for WiFi networks, including capitalization
  • Your network password
  • The security type β€” almost always WPA/WPA2 for modern routers; open networks with no password are rare and handled differently

How to generate it

Enter your SSID, password, and security type into BizQRGen‘s WiFi QR mode, and it encodes all three into a single scannable code β€” no app required on the guest’s end, since WiFi QR codes are read natively by both iPhone and Android cameras.

Where to find your network details if you don’t have them handy

On most routers, the SSID and password are printed on a sticker on the router itself. If you’ve changed the password since setup, check your router’s admin panel (usually accessed at 192.168.1.1 or similar in a browser) under Wireless Settings.

A tip for printed signage

Print the QR code alongside the network name as text too β€” some visitors will still prefer to type it manually, and having both covers everyone without extra cost.
