Sharing FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi guest access via QR code

The FRITZ!Box provides an extra QR code for its Wi-Fi guest access so that your guests can easily connect to the FRITZ!Box's guest access with their smartphones or tablets. If you use the FRITZ!Box in a restaurant, café or other place with a lot of walk-in customers, you can also print out the QR code and share it with guests in several places, for example on the food or drink menu.

If you do not continuously offer the FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi guest access, you can quickly reactivate it at any time using FRITZ!App WLAN, a FRITZ!Fon or a FRITZ!DECT smart switch.
