How To Connect To WiFi Without Password in Android, Windows and iPhone?

Officially there are two ways that you can use to Connect To WiFi Without Password on your Samsung Galaxy and other Android phones. These official two methods are QR code and WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). QR code contains detail regarding your router details which also includes the Wi-fi user username (SSID), security type and its password. While at the same time WPS do not require any password that can be used to connect to the router. The only requirement is that you must press the WPS key on your router and connect to Wi-fi without password within 60 seconds or else the session will expire.

Note: It is very important to keep in mind that WPS is used on older devices. Since 2018 WPS has been replaced with DDP (Device Provisioning Protocol) in newer devices.

Bonus Tip- Connect to Wifi using the Guest Mode

The other method that you can use to connect to Wi-fi beside the WPS is called guest Wi-fi connection. Obviously with this method you can connect to the Internet without a password But I am not recommending. Because the guest network that you are trying to connect is unsecured which makes it unencrypted. At the same time it is a bit creepy which does not require any password to connect at all. Even if you are connecting to the wi-fi using the guest mode, do keep in mind, to not login into your bank and your social media accounts. In the public places mostly the guest Wi-fi connection will be used even though even though it requires password.

Aside from security in the guest mode, the bandwidth is limited which means the speed of Internet is limited (In simple words).

Please keep in mind that depending on the router that you are using, you may have the ability to add more guest networks. However my router has only three guest mode which I can enable by checking the boxes and saving the changes.
