Create your Wi-Fi QR code
Choose security and hidden-network settings. The QR updates as you type.
Enter a network name to see the QR.
Test the QR on a phone near the network before printing. Compatibility depends on the phone and router.
The QR contains access credentials, including the password. Share it like a password; no history or transfer to external services.

From network to QR
- Enter the network name and select WPA/WPA2/WPA3, WEP or None for an open network.
- Enter the exact password. You can show it temporarily to check it and select Hidden network when needed.
- Download PNG at your preferred resolution or SVG. Test the connection on a phone near the access point.
Schema to complete
WIFI:T:WPA;S:Guest-Network;P:DEMO-password;;Check the result
The QR does not encrypt the password, create the network or configure the router. The schema uses demonstration credentials. Use a separate guest network; enterprise certificates and portals need other methods. Test WPA3 and hidden-network compatibility with the actual devices.
The code scans, but the phone will not connect
First connect the same phone by entering the network name and password manually. If this fails, fix the network or credentials before generating another QR. If manual connection works, check the security setting, exact network name and hidden-network option.
Enter the actual characters in the fields: for example Guest;Room:1 and a test password containing commas or backslashes. QRWave handles the encoding; do not add escape characters yourself. These are test examples, not credentials to publish.
| Situation | Action |
|---|---|
| Router password changed | Generate a new QR and replace every displayed copy. The old code still contains the old password. |
| Open network | Select None. The QR does not require a password and does not make an open network private. |
| Login page, certificate or corporate account | The QR does not complete these steps. Provide the network operator’s instructions. |
| Publicly displayed QR | Use a guest network with restrictions configured on the router. Hiding the network name does not protect the credentials inside the QR. |
