WifiTap WiFi NFC

Make it easy for your friends to join your home WiFi by using NFC Tags.

Ever been at a friends house and wanted to use his Wi-Fi? It's a hassle to enter the Wi-Fi credentials and most of the time your friend might not even know them anymore.

With this app installed you can just hold your mobile device close to a NFC Tag your friend placed at his homes entrance or anywhere else inside. The network stored on the tag will then automatically be added to your list of known networks and an attempt to connect to it will be started. No click required. The app does not even have to be started.

If you don't have NFC tags you can generate a QR code and use any QR code reader in the market to read the data. As long as WiFi Tap is installed it will handle that data when opened and add the WiFi to the list of known networks.

The app processes URIs in the format of wifi://[network ssid]/[wep|wpa|open]/[network key]

To write a Wi-Fi configuration to any compatible NFC tag this app has an easy to use interface, which lets you do that. Just start it via the launcher. For tag types I recommend “Mifare Ultralight (C)” tags. They are cheap and have enough space for storing Wi-Fi data. They can also be made read only (coming in a future version of this app)

You can buy tags e.g. at http://www.tagage.net/
