Steps

  • Open the Free WiFi QR Generator
  • Enter SSID (network name)
  • Choose WPA/WPA2 (typical), WEP, or open
  • Enter the password if required
  • Download the PNG for a guest card or wall sign

Security tips

Treat the printed QR like the password itself. Prefer a guest network with limited access. Rotate guest credentials periodically and print a new static Wi‑Fi QR—or use a dynamic QR that points to a page with current instructions.

FAQ

Is the password visible in the QR?

Yes—the payload includes credentials. Anyone with the code can join. Do not post guest QR codes on public websites.
