Why WiFi via QR code?
Everyone knows the situation: guest arrives, asks for WiFi, you dictate "M5jk-Großhans-2024-Internet" letter by letter. With a WLAN QR code, that never happens again:
- Guest scans → is online. No typing, no typos.
- Password stays hidden: Guests don't see the password (more secure than the card with the password on the fridge).
- iOS and Android natively: Since iOS 11 and Android 10, the camera app recognizes WLAN QR codes automatically.
- Create once — valid forever: As long as the WiFi password stays the same, the QR code remains valid.
- Works offline: The scanning process itself doesn't require internet — the WiFi password is encoded in the QR code.
Guest WiFi QR code in 30 seconds
- Enter Wi-Fi name (SSID): Exactly as it appears in your router (case-sensitive).
- Enter password: Exactly as in your router. It won't be displayed—only encoded in the QR code.
- Choose encryption: WPA/WPA2/WPA3 (default), WEP (legacy), or "No password" (open network).
- "Hidden Wi-Fi": Enable if your SSID broadcast is disabled.
- Generate QR code& Print: For tables: 5×5 cm. For walls/entrance: 10×10 cm.
Where should I place the Wi-Fi QR code?
- At home: Magnet on the fridge or framed on the wall.
- Café/Restaurant: On each table (combined with the menu).
- Hotel: In the room on the desk or as a card stand.
- Office: At the reception for visitors.
- Vacation rental: In the welcome folder — guests will love it.
- Coworking space: On the wall next to the entrance.
Pro tip: Create a separate guest network on your router (FRITZ!Box, Speedport, etc. have this built-in) and create a QR code just for it. Your main WiFi stays private.

Which devices can read WiFi QR codes?
iPhones with iOS 11 and newer (2017+), Android devices with Android 10 and newer (2019+). For older devices: scan the QR code → password is displayed, enter it into WiFi manually.
Which encryption should I choose?
WPA/WPA2/WPA3 for modern routers (95% of cases). WEP only for very old routers. "No password" for open hotspots.
Does it work with hidden SSID?
Yes — enable the "Hidden WiFi" option. The SSID name will then be explicitly encoded, even if it's not being broadcast.
Is my password sent to a server?
No. At easyfreeqr.com, everything is created in your browser. Your password never leaves your device — not even when generating QR codes.
