A WiFi QR code lets guests join your network instantly by pointing their camera at a code, eliminating the need to read out complex passwords.

Device compatibility
- iOS 11+: the native Camera app detects WiFi codes and displays an instant "Join Network" button
- Android 10+: native Camera integration prompts immediate one-tap WiFi connection
- Android 8 to 9: depending on manufacturer software, some models may require Google Lens or a scanner utility
- Laptops (macOS / Windows): scanning displays credentials for manual entry
WiFi QR codes allow anyone with camera access to read network credentials. For public spaces, use a dedicated guest network with isolated client access.
Because this is dynamic, updating the password in ScanOrbit automatically updates the network credentials for future scans without reprinting your signage.
