Social Wifi Router Configuration

By Johnny Ruhaul


Hi everyone this will hopefully be a quick overview or a quick posting on just a general guideline or quick instructions on how to configure or set up your social WiFi hardware or wireless router.

As mentioned in our previous blog our hardware will ship from either our Toronto , Canada warehouse or our Las Vegas, Nevada office. We ship all of our hotspot social wifi hardware all across the USA.

Please ensure you document the following; IP address of your device & gateway, DNS server address Radius connection, Cloud connection,VPN connection

For logistics and shipping for our social WiFi hardware the majority of our products or I would say at least 60% of them have been shipping from our distribution office in Canada. Many customers are asking which product is the most popular and which is the most low cost maintenance. From what we've seen the TP-link wireless router has been a very popular social wi-fi enabled sensor. I would say 60% of our customers have been ordering these and they are mostly retail and restaurant businesses that are roughly 800-1000 square feet in size.

If your wondering which package they select its usually the standard starter package with the added upgrade content filtering. The next most popular social WiFi hardware is the Meraki MR series enterprise cloud sensor or access point. This by far the most popular option as Meraki's features and cloud based solution is amazing. Cisco offers a very high % of uptime so you'll rarely every see their data line or connection fail. We still support other hardware such as Netgear, Dlink, Ruckus, Cisco and many more hardware sensor or Aps for your social WiFi solution.

If your not going with a wireless site survey, the next best thing to download is a free tool such as meta geeks free tool that will show you your RSSI and SNR strength. Your threshold for RSSI should be around -70 to -75 and SNR always above 25.
