How to Generate a Wi-Fi QR Code for Easy Guest Access (WPA/WEP/None)

Learn how to quickly create a static Wi-Fi QR code for your guests. Supports WPA/WPA2, WEP, and open (None) security types for instant connection.

Tired of spelling out your cryptic Wi-Fi password for every guest? A Wi-Fi QR code is your new best friend. Guests can simply scan the code with their smartphone camera and connect instantly—no typos, no fuss, just magic.

What You'll Need

  • Your Wi-Fi Network Name (SSID): It must be the exact name, including case sensitivity.

  • Your Wi-Fi Password (Key): Also case-sensitive, unless your network is unprotected.

  • Your Network Security Type: This is the encryption your network uses: WPA/WPA2 (most common and secure), WEP (older, less secure), or None (open network).

Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these straightforward steps to generate your hassle-free Wi-Fi access code.

Step 1: Gather Your Network Credentials

    1. SSID (Network Name): Write this down exactly as it appears.

    2. Password (Key): Double-check your password for accuracy. Leave this field empty if your network is "None" (unprotected).

    3. Security/Encryption Type: Confirm whether your router uses WPA/WPA2, WEP, or None. When in doubt, start with WPA/WPA2 as it's the modern default.

Step 2: Use RoQR to generate a Wi-Fi QR Code

    1. Navigate to the RoQR app.

    2. On the Dashboard page, select the "Wi-Fi" or "WIFI Access" option as the content type.

    3. Fill in the form fields with the information you gathered in Step 1:

Field Your Input Notes
Network Name (SSID)
$$Your Exact Wi-Fi Name$$
 Case-sensitive!
Password (Key)
$$Your Exact Password$$
 Leave blank if using 'None' security.
Encryption Type WPA/WPA2, WEP, or None Must match your router's setting.
Hidden Network Yes or No Check this box if your network name is broadcast privately.

Step 3: Generate and Customize (Optional)

    1. Click the "Generate" button. Your QR code will instantly appear.

    2. Optional: Customize the design, such as adding colors or a small logo. Keep it simple, though—the more complex the design, the harder it can be to scan.

Step 4: Test and Print Your QR Code

    1. Test It! Before you print a stack, hold your smartphone camera (or a dedicated QR scanner app) up to the generated code on your screen. Your phone should prompt you to connect to the Wi-Fi network instantly. If it fails, go back and re-check your SSID, Password, and Encryption Type.

    2. Download and Print. Download the QR code image (PNG is usually best) and print it out. A size of at least 1 x 1 inch (2.5cm X 2.5cm) is recommended for easy scanning.

    3. Display for Guests. Place the printed code in a common area, like a coffee table or a framed sign.

That’s it! You've just simplified your guest experience and saved yourself from reciting that 16-character string one more time. You're welcome.
