If you have an automatically generated Wi-Fi password, it can sometimes cause problems if you want to share it with friends and family. From now on you no longer have to mention a series of letters, numbers and capital letters. This way you can easily share your WiFi password.
Create a guest network
If you allow friends and family to log in to your main network, they will automatically have access to all of your devices connected to this network. To prevent potential risks, it is better to create a guest network.
To do this, enter the number sequence on the sticker of your router in your browser. This will take you to the administrator page of your router. Then choose a “guest network” at the settings and set a WPA2 password if this is possible. Make the name of this guest network recognizable and choose a relatively easy password. For this you can, for example, put 4 random words in succession.
Create a QR code
Instead of having to enter the password clumsily on your phone, you can create a QR code for your Wi-Fi network. With this, guests only have to scan the code to gain access to the network. For this you can use the site of Qifi use. Simply enter all data and then print or share your QR code.
Share with Apple
Apple devices such as iPhones with iOS 11 and iOS 12 have a built-in feature that allows you to easily share your WiFi password. This only works with Apple devices. Make sure that both WiFi and Bluetooth are switched on on both devices.
Go through settings to the network that you want to connect to. After you have selected this, the pop-up window appears to enter the password. Make sure that the iPhone that is already connected to the network is near the device that wants to connect. Is nothing happening? Then bring the devices closer together. A pop-up should now appear asking if you want the selected network to connect to that contact or device name. Now simply tap on “share password” to send the password to the other device. The password field on the other device will now be filled in automatically.
