Thanks all. We have created generic user accounts that become tied to a visitor. Students use 'this' separate SSID/VLAN so it is subject to filtering/proxy/cert'. However the cert' installation is an issue for 50 people at reception! So I guess you are all saying another ssid/vlan, (groan) with no cert'. Let's hope students and staff don't get access? Anyone feel they can add....please don't hesitate. This is all really helpful. Thanks Jeremy

Ha Ha this is exactly our challenge. "We used to just put visitors on the BYOD network, but as smoothwall[our thing isn't smoothwall but the same issue] requires users to accept a certificate onto their devices that became a bit of a faf with other orgs bringing restricted devices into school.

Hi all. Can any of you comment on what works for your schools to provide quick and easy wifi user connections for visitors such as speakers, parents, clubs and adhoc connections to schools. We are driven by security and governance that stipulates separation from all staff and all students. Amongst other things. Any suggestions or comments appreciated. Jersey, Channel Islands Education.

There is a free trial which you should evaluate FYI It is then free for students, which seems to be the way things are going, and a charge for staff. Perhaps you should present this solution like any other, here's a solution to your problem boss, it costs this....if you don't want it the outcome is this.... There is this which is much the same product https://www.opendns.com/home-internet-security/

Hi. This is exactly the way we have done it in the past. Umbrella works well for this and has a free version. However, remember that all dns solutions are easily circumvented with a modicum of ingenuity..they are often free and easily tick a box.

Hi, what did you end up using???
