Advanced Captive Portal

I'm deploying Smart Zone, Zone Director and Unleashed access points in my hotel and apartment complex's. I need a pre shared key solution to connect to the WiFi that works in my current environment. Any suggestions?

Hello PastaSaucePaul,

For deploying a pre-shared key (PSK) solution in your environment with SmartZone, ZoneDirector, and Unleashed access points, you can use the following approach:

SmartZone: Configure a WLAN with WPA2-PSK security. This will allow users to connect to the WiFi using a pre-shared key.
ZoneDirector: Similarly, you can configure a WLAN with WPA2-PSK security on the ZoneDirector. This ensures that users can connect using a pre-shared key.
Unleashed: On Unleashed access points, you can also configure a WLAN with WPA2-PSK security. This will provide a consistent user experience across all your access points.

Ensure that the pre-shared key is strong and secure to prevent unauthorized access. You can manage and distribute the key to your guests and residents as needed.

Regards,

Pranav Anand

Pranav - I was able to find another advanced solution that supports SmartZone, ZoneDirector, and Unleased through GoZone WiFi. They also support location based services through their analytics platform. RukusOne. https://www.gozonewifi.com/support/hardware_configurations/?
