WiFi QR Code Generator — Connect Guests in One Scan
Rattling off a 20-character WiFi password to every guest is tedious and error-prone — especially when your password has a capital O that looks like a zero. A WiFi QR code encodes your network name and password into a scannable image: guests point their phone camera, tap, and they're connected. No app, no typing. QRlumo generates it in seconds and lets you print a card that lives at the front desk, check-in welcome pack, or cafe counter for good.
How it works
Enter your network name (SSID) and password
Type in your WiFi network name exactly as it appears in device settings, then enter the password. Select your encryption type — WPA/WPA2 is standard for virtually all modern routers.
Choose encryption and confirm hidden-network setting
If your router's SSID is hidden (not broadcast), tick the hidden network checkbox so iOS and Android know to probe for it specifically. Leave it unchecked for normal visible networks.
Download and print your WiFi card
Export the QR code as a high-res PNG or print-ready PDF. Frame it in a small card holder, paste it on a guest welcome sheet, or add it to your Airbnb welcome booklet. Pro tip: add your network name as text below the code so guests can still type it manually if they're on an older device.
Replace the card whenever the password changes
Because WiFi credentials are baked into the QR image itself, you'll generate a new code each time your password rotates. Keep this page bookmarked — takes about 30 seconds to produce a fresh card. For high-turnover environments, consider a password manager rotation schedule so updates stay predictable.
FAQ
QRlumo supports WPA/WPA2 (the standard for most home and business routers), WEP (older, rarely used), and open networks with no password. Select the type that matches your router's security settings. If you're unsure, WPA is almost certainly correct for a network set up in the last decade.
Yes. Tick the 'Hidden network' checkbox when generating your code. The QR data includes a flag that tells the device to connect to a non-broadcasting SSID. iOS 13+ and Android 10+ handle this automatically when scanning from the native camera app.
The QR code encodes your password in a standard WiFi join format (mecard://). Anyone who scans it can join your network — so treat it like a written password card. For guest networks (most hotels, cafes, and Airbnbs use a dedicated guest SSID), this is completely standard practice. For your private network, keep the card in a controlled area or use a separate guest SSID with a different password.
Yes — because the password is encoded directly in the QR image, a new password means a new QR code. Generate a fresh one here and reprint. This is why many hosts keep a guest-only network with a stable, long-term password specifically so the printed card stays valid for months at a time.
Absolutely. Download the PNG or PDF and drop it into any design tool — Canva, Word, Figma, Adobe Express. Many Airbnb hosts pair the WiFi QR code with their house rules on a single A5 card. Guests love it: no messages back and forth asking for the password, and five-star reviews often mention frictionless check-in as a highlight.
