Make the code

Open the WiFi QR code generator.
Type your network name exactly as it appears on a phone, including capital letters and spaces.
Choose the network type. "Password protected" fits almost every home and business router. Choose "No password" for an open network.
Type the password. If your network is hidden, tick that box.
Download the code and test it before you print it.

iPhone: open the Camera app and point it at the code. A banner appears offering to join the network.
Android: on most recent phones, open the Camera app and point it at the code, then tap the prompt. If yours does not react, use Google Lens or the QR scanner in the quick settings panel.

A wrong network name or password. The code carries exactly what you typed. If it will not connect, check both against your router.
Changing your password. The old code stops working, so make a new one and replace the sign.
Special characters. Passwords with symbols like a semicolon or a backslash are handled for you; the generator adds the escaping the format needs.
Who can see it. Anyone who can see the code can join your network. If you print it where customers will see it, put it on a guest network rather than the one your own devices use.
