Tips

  • Use a descriptive local network label so you can distinguish guest networks in the sidebar.

  • Test the printed or shared QR code with a device before distributing copies.

  • Use Card Options… to review guest instructions and password visibility before exporting.

  • Watch outThis app cannot configure a physical router or confirm that the entered password matches it. Verify the router settings yourself.

  • Watch outThe revealed QR code and password can grant network access. Share the card only with intended guests.

  • Watch outIf the password is changed on the router, update and replace any printed or shared cards that are now outdated.
