Social Wifi Router Configuration

By Johnny Ruhaul


Hi everyone this will hopefully be a quick overview or a quick posting on just a general guideline or quick instructions on how to configure or set up your social WiFi hardware or wireless router.

It has been a great success over the year for our company and I do hope for yours as well by capturing all of those new social media customers. When we first spun off from our corporate print/branding company we didn't think many of our customers would select our gold & platinum packages but you guys did and I want to thank each and everyone again. For those of you who aren't familiar with our gold & platinum social WiFi & corporate branding packages these packages include a combination of full corporate brand design, corporate print marketing material, digital market/search engine optimization or search engine marketing and of course our popular social WiFi package.

Connectsim still sells regular social WiFi or wi-fi enabled hardware & software packages but we tend to offer a better solution or offerings by bundling all of our packages into one. You can still purchase just a regular level 1 or entry social WiFi enabled hardware from us and we will support and or install it for our customers. Currently we are only shipping our products in Canada and in the USA. Our rates are all in usd currency and depending on stock levels and inventory our products may ship from our Toronto warehouse or our Las Vegas, Nevada office.

For logistics and shipping for our social WiFi hardware the majority of our products or I would say at least 60% of them have been shipping from our distribution office in Canada. Many customers are asking which product is the most popular and which is the most low cost maintenance. From what we've seen the TP-link wireless router has been a very popular social wi-fi enabled sensor. I would say 60% of our customers have been ordering these and they are mostly retail and restaurant businesses that are roughly 800-1000 square feet in size.

A wireless site survey will usually come with a report that shows the status and health of your wireless environment. It basically tells you how clean the air is in your environment. Far too many times have we've seen too many restaurants in the downtown area that can't simply use the 2.4Ghz spectrum because the downtown core of most cities are too crowded with RF noise.

After you have performed the following the next think you need to do is access the web interface. Please remember that after one of our hotspot hardware routers have been flashed or upgrade you can no longer access the original manufacturers web ui. This is extremely important that if you are performing your own device configuration to make sure you download the correct firmware from our website or getting it from one of our technical support staff. Once access the web interface just go through the instruction on the booklet and follow the instructions to set up your social internal wifi network by enable DHCP and have your customers connect to your SSID. Please remember that your encryption should be open. Simple ping tools should be your first tool for troubleshooting and obviously make sure you have enough coverage in your environment. Best practices are to always have 2 sensors or access points as a fail over or redundant sensor for your social wifi hardware set up. Channel spacing is very important and at times more access points is not always the solution as too many wifi social hardware devices in one area can create sticky RF clients or cross channel interference.
