When your friends come to your house, you may need to give them your WiFi password. And if it's a complex password, it'll take a while. But you can speed up the whole process by creating a QR code that your friends can then scan using an app on your smartphone to connect to your WiFi.

How to create a QR code for your WiFi

You can create a QR code with the help of various websites that only require the name of your network and the associated password. We use the WiFi QR code generator in this manual , but you can choose which QR code generator you want to use. Follow our step-by-step instructions or take a look at the brief instructions .

First you need the access data for your network so that you can enter them on the website. You can usually find the network name and password on the back of your router - unless you have changed these settings. There you will also find the encryption of your network, which you will need in the next step.

2nd step:

Then open the website https://www.qrcode-generator.de/solutions/wifi-qr-code/ . Enter the appropriate data for your network under " Network name " and " Password ". Then select the appropriate encryption. In most cases you can leave this at " WPA / WPA2 ". Then click on the " Create QR Code " button .

3rd step:

Your QR code has now been created on the right. You can now change the color of your QR code under " Shape & Color " by clicking on the ring with the plus and then selecting a desired color. If you are satisfied with your code, click the " Download JPG " button to save an image file on your computer. You can then print out the code, for example.
