QR Code Generator
You bring a new device home and it takes longer to connect it to your WiFi network (because of the very long and convoluted password) that in unpacking it Has it happened to you? There are many situations in which connecting to a password-protected WiFi network is an odyssey: no one knows the password, it is extremely long and complex and you need several attempts to connect, it is inconvenient to have to move the WiFi router to read the password”¦ But there is a solution: write it down on a small piece of paper that can be lost or print it on a QR code to always have it at hand and without fearing that someone might get hold of it.
For those who don't know it's a QR code, it's a small quadrangular drawing which, like a barcode, collects information that can be read by devices such as smartphones, tablets, computers”¦ Thus, they can host information or serve as a link for a web page without letting other people know what it contains, and with a quick response (Quick Response in English). A technology that originated in Japan, to help the rapid distribution of elements in vehicle factories. Now it has spread and is very useful for providing complementary information in magazines, advertisements of , etc. through our portable devices.
In this way, returning to the idea of making it easier for us to connect to a WiFi network quickly and comfortably, we can use one of these QR codesThis is possible thanks to tools such as the one on the website ZXing, which gives us the opportunity to transform our very long alphanumeric WiFi password in one of these codes With this, we only need the device we want to connect to have a reader application such as BIDI, available both on Google Play and on App Store completely free Or the famous Google Goggles, which offers other many more possibilities.
On this page we have to follow two processes or create two types of code depending on whether we want to connect a device Android or one from Apple The difference is in that Android can connect directly, while on iPhone or iPad what we will encode in the code is simply the text of the password to cut and paste when connecting
Thus, from the page of ZXing, we only have to select in the upper dropdown if we want to create a connection for Android (WiFi Network) or the password text for iOS (Text), and fill in the form. In the first case, enter the name of the network, the password, select the protection type and press Generate In the other case, after selecting Text, you only have to enter the code to be able to have it directly in the terminal after scanning the code. Then we can click on Download to get the image of the code and print it
With this, Android users will be connected immediately after scanning the code with the app, while those ofiOS you will need to copy and paste the codeIn both cases the process is greatly facilitated, without making mistakes in any number or letter of the password. A good idea for establishments, which can distribute these codes in shop windows or posters to avoid having to constantly answer what the code is Access
