What is WiFi and its types?

WiFi, or Wireless Fidelity, is a technology that allows devices to connect to wireless networks, access the internet, and exchange data by radio waves. The main WiFi types are wireless LAN, wireless MAN, wireless PAN, and wireless WAN.

Wireless LAN, or Local Area Network, typically covers smaller spaces like homes and offices. MAN, known as a Metropolitan Area Network, serves larger areas like cities or entire regions. PAN, or Personal Area Network, works on a shorter range, usually within a few meters/yards, and is a go-to choice for personal use. Then there’s WAN or Wide Area Network, which connects devices on a broad scale — a city, region, or even a whole country. Our QR code generator allows you to create QR codes for all these networks with SSIDs Service Set Identifiers), passwords, and encryption settings.

What is SSID?

SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. It’s essentially the name of a WiFi network. When searching for available WiFi networks on your device, the list you see consists of SSIDs.

In our QR code generator, you can enter your WiFi network’s name in the respective section. Once you do this, users will see your SSID when scanning the QR code. You can also input your WiFi password and configure encryption settings to protect your network from unauthorized access.
