splash pages, bandwidth throttling, DNS filtering and client isolation - and private SSIDs, with WPA
Enterprise authentication and access to LAN resources and other clients. When we created your
network, we set the
first
SSID to be
public and the second SSID to be private, but you can adjust
these any way you wish.
We’ll go through most of the features you may want to enable or change. You can also learn more
about voucher access, pay networks and more by following the links at the end of this document.
Common Settings
SSID
name:
The name you’d like users to see and connect to with their device. You can also check
the box below to use each access point’s name for its SSID instead.
Enable:
When selected, this SSID will broadcast on all access points in this network. When
deselected, it won't broadcast but your settings will be saved.
Visible:
When enabled, this SSID will advertise itself publicly so users can select it from their list
of available networks. When disabled, users must enter the SSID name manually.
Band
Use this to limit what bands the SSID is broadcast on. Note: Selecting the 'only' options in a
network with single radio devices (like the OM2P) may cause the SSID to not be broadcast at all.
Authentication:
Enable this to authenticate users with WPA-PSK or WPA-Enterprise at the time
they connect to the SSID. This isn't required if you wish to authenticate users on a splash page.
WPA Pre-shared key
(Password):
If you would like to secure your network with a
password, enter it here. It must be eight characters or longer and contain no spaces.
WPA Enterprise:
Uses 802.1x authentication that requires a unique username and
password for each user.
Captive Portal Settings
Bandwidth Throttling:
Enable and set download/upload limits to set the maximum speeds users
will get when connected to your network. You may want to set these to between 10 and 25 per
cent of the speed of your Internet connection, ensuring that one or two users can’t consume the
entire available bandwidth.
Splash Page/Splash Page Type:
Enable or disable a page users will see before connecting to your
network. You can set this to Custom (hosted by
Datto
), Facebook WiFi, or a hosted remotely
version for advanced users.
Splash Page Authentication:
Choose
Datto
, RADIUS or HTTP Authentication.
