What it does

Wifi Porter connects your guests to Wi-Fi by scanning a QR code or tapping on the device. It’s a nice way to avoid typing long passwords. Wifi Porter is carved from a block of hard maple, and is compatible with iOS and Android. Unlike other solutions, Wifi Porter doesn’t require any special apps, and it doesn’t require the host to be nearby.

Join Wi-Fi networks by tapping your phone to a gorgeous block of wood. For iOS and Android.
