Wi-Fi QR Codes: Share Your Network by Scanning

The code encodes your network name, security type, and password in the format phone cameras recognise. Scanning shows a "Join network?" prompt; one tap connects. No password is typed and nothing is installed.

Anyone who scans the code joins the network, so treat the printed code exactly as you would treat the password written on a card — it is a convenience for people you are already letting on. A determined guest can extract the password from the pattern with a decoder app, so use a separate guest network for anything you would not hand out freely.

iPhones running iOS 11 or later and Android devices running Android 10 or later handle them from the stock camera app. Older Android phones can scan with Google Lens or a free QR reader.

Update the network details on the code in your dashboard and re-download the image. Because the credentials are encoded in the pattern itself, the printed card does need replacing — which is a good reason to keep guest passwords stable and rotate them on a schedule you plan for.

Yes, as long as every location shares the same SSID and password. If floors or sites use different networks, generate one code per network and name them clearly in the dashboard.
