Connecting guests to your Wifi

Yesterday, a friend posted directions to make life easier for guests to connect to your home WiFi, without them having to type in passwords.

I suggested a couple changes to the part on how to do the NFC tag:

To write the tag, use the app NFC Tools to do the writing as it is versatile and needs no special permissions.

Using NFC Tools, use the Write tab, Add a Record to add these two records:

• • URL / URI: wifi:networkname/wpa/password

  • Application: com.wifitap.android

Then, write the tag.

Finally, presentation is a good thing.  I've attached two sample files to this post showing sample text and a sample QR code.  The PNG is a simple PNG file.  The SVG file is an InkScape SVG file.
