Guestwlan is made to work on Raspberry Pi<\/a> with a touch screen<\/strong>. The program itself works whenever a potential Wi-Fi user approaches the Raspberry Pi <\/strong>and requests access to the network<\/strong>. It would then display three separate QR codes<\/strong>, for Android, iOS, and Windows devices respectively.<\/p>\n

The three QR codes contain all the information needed<\/strong> for the device to connect to the network<\/strong>. All you needs to do is to scan the code, and the device connects to the local Wi-Fi immediately.<\/p>\n

If you have a touch screen Raspberry Pi<\/strong>, try this program out. Get the files on<\/strong> GitHub<\/a> or at ArchLinux<\/a><\/strong>. While the program is configured to use with Arch, NicoHood has mentioned that Guestwlan could probably work in a Debian environment as well.<\/p>\n
