During the stay

WhatsApp template: Wi-Fi password

The Wi-Fi password is the #1 post check-in request: comes from at least 60% of guests, even when the info is already available in 3 different spots in the apartment. A well-structured template solves the request in 30 seconds and frees time for more important things. Here three variants: single standard network, dual-band network (2.4GHz + 5GHz), reply to connection issues.

When to send

When to send: every time you receive a 'what's the Wi-Fi?' question. Don't wait to recheck — slow reply is the #1 frustration. Password should always be in the check-in message, but half of guests look for it directly in chat instead of scrolling back.

3 ready-to-copy templates

Three tone variants. Pick the closest match to your style, or use them as a baseline to personalise.

Placeholders like {{guest_name}} are intentionally left visible — replace them with your data before sending.

1Single network

Hi {{guest_name}}, here's the Wi-Fi:

📶 Network: "{{wifi_name}}"
🔑 Password: "{{wifi_password}}"

Password is case-sensitive. If you can't connect, restart your phone's Wi-Fi and try again. Average speed around {{speed_mbps}} Mbps, enough for HD streaming and video calls.

2Dual band (2.4GHz + 5GHz)

Hi {{guest_name}}, here are Wi-Fi credentials.

📶 You have 2 networks available:

• "{{wifi_name_5ghz}}" (5GHz, faster, short range)
• "{{wifi_name_24ghz}}" (2.4GHz, slower, longer range)

🔑 Password (same for both): "{{wifi_password}}"

Tip: use 5GHz if you're in living room/bedroom near router, 2.4GHz if you're in kitchen or balcony (more stable at distance). Speeds: 5GHz ~{{speed_5}}Mbps, 2.4GHz ~{{speed_24}}Mbps.

3Reply to connection issues

Hi {{guest_name}}, sorry about the Wi-Fi issue. Let's troubleshoot:

1️⃣ Verify the password entered is exact (case-sensitive): "{{wifi_password}}"
2️⃣ On your phone: "Forget network" and reconnect as if first time
3️⃣ If still not working: the router is in {{router_location}}, there's a small reset button. Press for 5 seconds, wait 90 seconds, retry.

If problem persists after reset, message me here: I can do a remote reset or, if needed, send a technician same-day for free.

For urgent needs (working / video call now) I also recommend {{alternative_solution}} (cafe with free Wi-Fi 200m away, or activate phone hotspot temporarily).

Practical tips

  • 1Keep the same Wi-Fi password for years — don't change it for security, except in specific cases. Changing means updating 5+ touchpoints (check-in template, fridge, tablet, automations). Organizational cost is high.
  • 2If the password contains confusing special chars (0/O, l/1/I), consider making it simpler. No one types it without errors from a phone.
  • 3For luxury rentals, consider printing the password on a dedicated tag (kitchen or living room table). Professional touch that prevents requests.

Frequently asked questions

Guest asks me to change the Wi-Fi password: what do I say?+

Explain the password is shared for all guests and manually changing it means reconfiguring smart TV, sensors, automations — operation that requires time and technical skill. Suggest an alternative: use a VPN if the guest seeks additional privacy.

Can I give Wi-Fi before check-in if the guest asks?+

No, never. Wi-Fi is one of the incentives to actually enter the apartment: giving the password before transfers to the guest the idea they can connect without being physically there, and creates a vulnerability (neighbors, past guests, etc.). Provide only after check-in is confirmed.

How much does reliable Wi-Fi for short-term rentals cost?+

Minimum investment: €30-50/month for 100Mbps fiber + a quality router (€50-100 one-time). A bad router in a poorly-covered area is the #1 source of 3-star reviews: traveling guests often work remotely, and a slow connection makes them flee.
