Share guest Wi-Fi with an NFC tag

• Android: many phones offer to join the network. It depends on the phone, so try it with the phones your guests use.
• iPhone: the iPhone doesn't join a network from an NFC tag. NFC Ninja can read the tag and shows the network name, but not the password, so iPhone guests join in Settings > Wi-Fi using the password on your printed card.

On Android, nobody has to spell out a long password.

NFC Ninja is coming soon to iPhone and Android. These steps follow the current app design.

1. Open the Library and tap Use this idea on Guest Wi-Fi, or Studio Wi-Fi for a workplace. Or tap Write a Tag and choose the Wi-Fi action.
2. Enter the network name and password exactly as they are on your router.
3. Preview the tag and check the network name. The preview doesn't show the password, so check it carefully as you type it.
4. Hold the tag near your phone to write it. NFC Ninja asks before replacing anything already on the tag.
5. NFC Ninja reads the tag back and only shows success when the details match.

• Put it by the front door, on the fridge, at reception or on a desk stand, with a small label like "Tap for Wi-Fi".
• Use a separate guest network, not your main one. Anyone who taps the tag can see the password.
• Changed the password? Open the setup in My Tags, update it and write the tag again.

Keep the network name and password on a small card next to the tag for iPhone guests and anyone whose phone doesn't have NFC switched on.
