Nothing frustrates customers more than asking for the WiFi password, writing it down wrong, and having to ask again. WiFi QR codes solve this problem elegantly.
How WiFi QR Codes Work
A WiFi QR code contains your network name (SSID), password, and encryption type. When scanned, the phone automatically connects to the network—no typing required.
Creating Your WiFi QR Code
- **Step 1: Gather Your Network Info**
- Network name (SSID): Exactly as it appears on devices
- Password: Case-sensitive
- Security type: Usually WPA/WPA2 for modern networks
- **Step 2: Generate the Code**
- Use Quality QR's WiFi QR code generator. Enter your network details and customize the design.
- **Step 3: Test Before Printing**
- Scan the code with your own phone to verify it connects correctly.
- **Step 4: Display Prominently**
- Place your WiFi QR code where customers can easily see and scan it.
Best Placement Ideas
- Reception desk or counter
- Table tents
- Wall signs near seating areas
- Menu inserts
- Welcome packets for hotels/rentals
Security Considerations
- **Guest Network**
- Consider creating a separate guest network for customer use. This keeps your business devices on a secure, private network.
- **Password Rotation**
- If you regularly change your WiFi password, use a dynamic QR code so you can update the credentials without reprinting.
