OTP for guest wifi

[bodminman]

Good morning all,

 

our school, like many, have a number of theatre productions throughout the year as well as hosting swimming competitions and large sporting events.

 

At the moment we do not offer guest access to wifi/internet but I have now been asked to set it up with OTP.

 

Does anyone else have OTP for Guest wifi/internet access, if so, what solution do you use?

 

Best wishes

What are you using for your wifi at the moment? (Assuming you have wifi but no guest access) I ask because all the guest network options I know of are built into managed wifi solutions, I've never heard of a guest wireless solution that would drop over an existing network. So if your current wifi doesn't support a guest network (it's worth doubble checking even some home solutions seem to do it now), you'd potentially be looking at replacing your wireless.

 

That said...

At the moment we use Fortinet managed wireless, but we're about to move to Aruba central. I've used unifi wireless both in a previous school and at home. All of these support guest wifi, we've always done it as wireless users with a set expiration based on how long the visitor needs to keep using the wireless.

 

I hope this helps.

We use Meraki's guest portal.

I remember someone here having a blog post on a good solution:

Thanks for the responses.

 

We currently have an old Unifi setup here. The issue here is that the proprietor wants it so that any guest onsite using the wifi, we want to capture a mobile number or email address to hand over should there be any incident when accessing the wifi.

 

I thought using the Facebook Wifi feature of the Unifi would be good but am not sure how the info from the connection time and user can be gathered if and when needed.

Unify has a guest portal, doesn't it?

We use Ruckus, guest SSID on a Guest VLAN. Access is provisioned via "guest passes" which you can set an expiry date on.
