FAQ - Guest Networks
Common questions about guest WiFi solutions for Houston businesses.
How do you keep guest WiFi separate from our business network?
Guest networks operate on separate VLANs with firewall rules preventing any access to internal resources. Guest traffic routes directly to the internet without passing through your corporate network. This ensures complete isolation while sharing the same physical infrastructure.
Can we customize the guest WiFi login page?
Yes, captive portals are fully customizable with your branding, logo, colors, and messaging. You can include terms of service, collect registration data, enable social login, or create entirely custom experiences. We design portals that match your brand identity.
How do we prevent guests from using too much bandwidth?
Bandwidth management controls limit each guest connection to a defined speed (e.g., 10 Mbps down/5 Mbps up). Fair usage policies can cap daily data usage. Traffic shaping prioritizes business-critical applications over guest traffic.
Are we liable for what guests do on our WiFi?
Proper terms of service acknowledgment transfers liability to users for their actions. We configure captive portals to require ToS acceptance before granting access. Connection logging provides evidence if legal issues arise. Consult your attorney for specific legal advice.
Can guests access our printers or file shares?
No. Network isolation prevents guest devices from discovering or communicating with any internal resources including printers, file servers, and other corporate systems. They only have internet access through your connection.
How long do guest sessions last?
Session duration is configurable based on your needs. Common configurations include 1-hour sessions for retail, 8-hour sessions for office visitors, or 24-hour access for hotels. Users can typically reconnect after session expiration.
