Happily there's a way to make this trivial: WiFi QR codes. A WiFi QR code is simply a text QR code with a special format as follows: WIFI:S:;T:;P:;H:;; The S sets the SSID of the network, T defines the security in use, P is the password and H whether the network is hidden or not. You can create this directly by making a text QR code or use a specialized QR code generator for WiFi networks. [Screen] The resulting QR code looks something like this: [My_WiFi_QR_Code] Which when scanned with the default camera app on iOS or Android will pop up something similar to this. With one click you're connected to the network. [IMG_7928] For a finishing touch just print out the QR code and place it in a cheap frame and any guest can scan and get online with ease.

You can do the same with NFC tags and have exactly the same cheap frame with both a QR code, NFC tag and it written out (for anyone that can't do either). I think they look quite smart. 4:17 PM [icon_delet] Post a Comment Older Post Home Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom) Popular Posts * [Screen] Guest WiFi using a QR code On my home network I have guest WiFi configured and when guests come round they need to know the password.
