Build a Wi-Fi QR code in LEGO

A Wi-Fi QR code lets guests join your network by pointing a phone at it — no typing the password. brickcodes turns one into a build you can make from LEGO or 3D print.

Create your Wi-Fi code

What a Wi-Fi QR code does

It encodes your network name, password, and security type. Scanning it with a phone camera offers to connect automatically — handy for guest Wi-Fi at home, an Airbnb, a café, or an office reception.

Make one here

Choose the Wi-Fi mode, type your network name and password, and the code is generated on-device — nothing is ever uploaded. Then pick your colors and brick style, and brickcodes works out the exact plates on a single 32×32 baseplate. Start your Wi-Fi code.

Will it scan once it is built?

Yes. The symbol is re-encoded cleanly and centered with its quiet zone, so a finished build scans like any printed code — as long as the pieces and baseplate have enough contrast. brickcodes warns you if a color pair is too low-contrast to read reliably.

Open and hidden networks

Leave the password blank and the code is generated for an open network, so scanning connects without asking for one. If your network does not broadcast its name, tick hidden — the code then tells the phone to look for the SSID explicitly, which it will not find on its own otherwise.

A note on what the code contains

A Wi-Fi QR code stores the network name and password as readable text. That is how the standard works — any scanner can read them back out. It is the right trade-off for a guest network on a shelf or a café wall, and the wrong one for a network you would not want a visitor to write down. Many routers let you run a separate guest SSID, which is the safer thing to encode.

Your credentials are never sent anywhere by brickcodes — the code is generated in your browser, and the only copy is the one you build.

Build it or 3D print it

Export a printable PDF and a BrickLink wanted list to build it in real bricks, or download a 3D-printable model of the same code to print at home.
