The configuration allows visitors access to the internet through a segregated network. Upon connecting, the user is directed to a Facebook check-in page. Successful check-in grants internet access, often managed using a TP-Link Omada controller for centralized network administration. This setup facilitates guest internet provision while simultaneously increasing social media engagement for the host business.
The importance of this stems from balancing open access for guests with security and marketing needs. A dedicated guest network prevents unauthorized access to internal resources. Requiring a Facebook check-in transforms a convenience into a marketing opportunity, boosting the business’s online visibility and potentially attracting new customers through social media recommendations. Historically, businesses used less streamlined methods, like handing out Wi-Fi passwords, lacking the security and marketing advantages.
