UniFi Hotspot Portal for Guest WiFi

UniFi’s Hotspot Portal enables you to create a professional and custom-branded landing page with flexible authentication methods, so guests can securely connect to your WiFi.

Enabling a Hotspot Portal

You can convert standard WiFi into a Hotspot Portal by navigating to UniFi Network > Settings > WiFi. Select a WiFi instance and enable Hotspot Portal > Captive Portal.

Once enabled, go to Insights > Hotspot and click on Landing Page to configure branding options, including welcome text, logo, and color scheme.

Authentication

Easily select one or multiple ways for your guests to connect, including:

• Facebook: Guests can authenticate using a Facebook account.
• Password: Guests must enter a password to connect.
• Payment: Guests must pay to use the WiFi. This is currently supported by Stripe.
• Vouchers: Provide guests with vouchers that can be used to authenticate. Customize vouchers to support various expiration times, bandwidth limits, or data consumption quotas.
• RADIUS (advanced): Preconfigure guest authentication via a RADIUS server.
• External Portal Server (advanced): Integrate with a third-party portal server.
