Key New Feature
Want more control over how guests access your Wi-Fi? WatchGuard now allows you to integrate with third-party captive portal services. This means you can create a more customized and engaging guest Wi-Fi experience.
Here's how it benefits you:
- Third-party captive portals can collect richer guest data, including social media login information, for more in-depth analytics.
- Choose from a wider selection of features offered by different third-party services. This lets you tailor the guest experience to your specific needs.
- With WatchGuard Cloud, you can set up multiple guest networks (SSIDs) within an access point. Each network can have a unique splash page designed by a third-party service you choose, like Purple Wi-Fi, Eleven Wireless, or GuestAir.
In short, you have more control and flexibility to create the perfect guest Wi-Fi experience for your business. See how to configure a captive portal here.
Supported Devices
