Integrating Mobile Devices Using QR Codes

Mobile devices like smartphones and tablets can be connected with the Wi-Fi network or the Wi-Fi guest access of the FRITZ!Box in various ways. If these mobile devices are equipped with a camera and a QR code reader (app), you can connect especially conveniently using QR codes.

Reading the QR Code of the FRITZ!Box with a Mobile Device

The FRITZ!Box uses QR codes to establish fast connections to your active Wi-Fi network and your guest network.

  1. Open the "Wi-Fi" menu.
    • In the "Wi-Fi / Wi-Fi Network" menu the FRITZ!Box displays QR codes for the Wi-Fi networks in the 2.4-Hz and/or 5-GHz bands (model-dependent).
    • In the "Wi-Fi / Guest Access" menu the FRITZ!Box displays a QR code for the Wi-Fi guest network.
  2. Read the QR codes with your mobile device’s QR code reader, directly from the monitor or from a printout.

    The mobile device uses the code to automatically establish a secure Wi-Fi connection to the FRITZ!Box.

Recommended QR Code Readers

If no QR code reader is installed on your mobile device, we recommend the following apps:

  1. with Android devices, install the FRITZ!App WLAN from Google Play Store and use it as a QR code reader
  2. with iOS devices (Apple), use the QR code reader "Qrafter" from the App Store
