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.
The following information should be checked and documented for future support or if you DNS information or other network information has changed.
When you receive your hardware please review the package and make sure the box has not been crushed oropened. Please take a picture of the box prior to opening it and contact us ASAP. The first thing you should do is open the box, read the quick start guide which goes over the ports and the configuration. If you ordered your own hardware from another vendor we will email you your access code and firmware and instructions to upgrade the firmware for the social wifi sensor or hardware. If you ordered a bundled package from us the firmware will already be preloaded and tested in our social wifi environment.
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. For more best practices on signal and coverage and hardware recommendations for your social WiFi network please stay tuned to my next article.
