WiFi QR Code Generator — Instant Guest Network Access
A WiFi QR code stores your network name, password, and security type in a standardised format that smartphones recognise natively. When a guest scans the code, their phone offers to join the network in a single tap — no keyboard required, no chance of mistyping a complex passphrase. It is the single biggest quality-of-life upgrade you can add to a café, office, hotel room, or home.
