The one I linked above seemed to be secure and is not trying to steal any data. However, I recommend not to use any random QR code generator since of course they can steal the data you are inputting. For my usage I did make just a simple plain black and white QR code using WiFi QR Code Generator web app. The internet is full of QR code generator apps that can be stylished event with different colors and logos on it.

That simplifies things since we don’t have to ask visitors to install separate app to read QR codes. QR codes are like barcodes, but can fit more data in it since they are two dimensional.Īlso most smart phones (Android 10+ and iOS 11+) can read a QR code with WiFi settings in it. Now I’m having a fully working guest WiFi system in the house! Embedding WiFi within the QR This guest WiFi was mapped to the previously created network only. Unifi supports it out of the box, so not much of configuration has to be done.Īfter the isolated network has been created guest WiFi was made with SSID + password on it. With the isolated network in place a guest Wifi network has to be done and map it to that specific VLAN. I don’t want anyone from guest WiFi to access my private devices or home automations of course. I’m using UDM (Unifi Dream Machine) Pro as my main router and it does support guest WiFi out of the box like many other brands do as well.įirst thing I did I created a separate isolated network (VLAN) for the guests to use. I wanted to do something different and pass it to guests with QR code instead.īut…putting some plain QR paper on the wall is quite boring, so decided to do it a bit different and implement it inside my daughters art.

The problem with secured guest WiFi is passing strong complicated password vocally or in paper.

Even though not many of our visitors needs a guest WiFi access I’ve still always wanted to have a guest WiFi network for random visitors.
