Create a QR code with any QR generator in this format:
WIFI:S:<ssid>;T:<wpa|wep|>;P:<password>;;
Scanning this code will automatically add the WiFi details to the device. [1][2]
iOS will share the username and password. To prevent that, create a configuration file using
the iPhone configuration utility and have the QR code link to that file. This file can be on
Dropbox or any other server. [3]
An alternative is to use NFC tags that are encoded with the WiFi details. [4]
