Quick Wi-Fi QR Code for Guests in Shops, Cafes & Offices

What the Code Contains

The network name, password and security type. Phone cameras on Android and iPhone recognise it and offer to join the network.

Create Your Wi-Fi QR Code

• Choose Wi-Fi :

  Select it as the QR code type.

• Enter the Network Name :

  Exactly as it appears on your router.

• Enter the Password :

  And the security type - usually WPA.

• Print It :

  Download a PNG or print stickers for tables and walls.

Good Practice

• Use a Guest Network :

  Keep visitors separate from your office devices.

• Password Stays Off the Sticker :

  Only the code is printed - the password is not written out as text.

• Reprint After Changes :

  A new password needs a new code.

Why Offer a Wi-Fi QR Code

Guests in cafes, clinics, shops and offices often need Wi-Fi, and spelling out a long password is slow and frustrating for both sides. Passwords are also easy to mistype, especially with mixed upper and lower case letters and symbols. A QR code removes all of this: guests simply scan it with their phone camera and connect in seconds. It is a small touch that makes your business feel welcoming and professional.

Choosing the Right Security Type

Most modern routers use WPA2 or WPA3 security, which appear as WPA in the QR code settings. Older networks may use WEP, which is not recommended because it is less secure. Open networks without a password do not need a password in the code at all. If you are not sure, check your router settings or the label on the router, and choose the matching type so phones can connect without errors.

Where to Place Your Wi-Fi QR Code

• Tables and Counters :

  Small stickers or table tents where guests sit or wait.

• Reception Desks :

  A framed sign for visitors to scan when they arrive.

• Menus and Brochures :

  Add the code to printed materials guests already hold.

• Meeting Rooms :

  A sticker near the door or on the table for visiting clients.

Keeping Your Network Secure

Use a separate guest network for visitors so they cannot access your business computers, printers or cameras. Many routers have a guest network option that can be switched on in the settings. Change the guest password from time to time, and print a new QR code when you do. This keeps your main network safe while still offering convenient Wi-Fi to guests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do guests need an app to scan the code? Most modern phones can scan Wi-Fi QR codes with the built-in camera.

What if my network name has spaces or symbols? Enter it exactly as it appears on your router, including spaces and capital letters.

Does the code work if my network is hidden? Hidden networks can be more difficult for some phones. If guests have trouble connecting, make the guest network visible, since it is separate from your main network anyway.

Making Your Wi-Fi Sign Look Good

A well-designed Wi-Fi sign fits your brand and makes guests more likely to use it. Add your business name or logo, a short line such as Free Wi-Fi - scan to connect and the QR code itself. Print it on good quality card or as a sticker, and place it in a holder or frame on tables and counters. Keep the design simple and uncluttered so the QR code stands out and scans quickly. Replace worn or damaged signs regularly so they always look clean and professional. A logo prepared with the Image Resizer, or converted to a vector with PNG to SVG so it stays crisp at any size, makes the sign look branded.
