Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi supports multiple SSIDs and several authentication modes: Pre-Shared Key (PSK), Enterprise, and Captive Portal.

  • PSK (Pre-Shared Key) Mode: All users share the same password. Individual or centralized management is not supported. If the password is changed on the router or access point, it must be updated manually on every client device. The password is stored on the client device, allowing anyone with device access to connect to the network and view the password.
  • Enterprise Mode: Provides enhanced security for business environments, enabling individual and centralized management of network access. Users must enter their unique credentials to connect. This mode supports RADIUS authentication and is ideal for setups with a RADIUS server. Clients do not handle the actual network password; instead, they use their user credentials to establish a secure connection, preventing unauthorized access to the network password.
  • Captive Portal Mode: Requires users to interact with a web authentication page before gaining network access. It can be configured with a RADIUS server or OOS Controller. This mode is commonly used in public Wi-Fi environments such as cafes or hotels. Users must enter credentials or accept terms on the portal page prior to access, enabling user authentication without sharing a network password.
