How to generate a QRCode for connecting to a wifi network

Here is how to generate a QRCode so people can access your (or a) wifi network.

Using a QRCode generator that can do plain text or allow the customization or the URL field where it will not put in https:// in front of the text like the QRCode generator in Adobe express does.  If the service your using puts in https:// in front of your SSID code it will fail to connect the mobile device to the network.

Canva and other free qrcode generators will allow you to customize the URL field without it pre-propagating the URL with https:// or by allowing you to use the plan text field.

Below is the code you need to use to generate the QRCode for allowing devices to connect to your wifi network.  Replace the <$SSID> and <$PASSWORD> with your ssid name and password and anyone should be able to connect but a quick caveat; you do have to make sure your wifi security is compatible, so if your using WPA3, you will have to make sure your using WPA3 and not WPA2.

WIFI:T:WPA2;S:<$SSID>;P:<$PASSWORD>;;

This allows you more flexibility in a more corporate or creative environment the using the "share" network that comes up on your phone.
