Social Wifi Hotspot Distribution Hardware Locations

By Johnny Ruhaul


To continue off from our last blog post and to respond to our customers questions yes all social wifi devices and hardware will connect on port 4 to your broadband router. Once you have successfully configured the wireless hotspot access point you will need to access the web interface. Either IP of 172.16.25.x should have been connected or released on your RF device if your connected to that social wifi router SSID. If not please look for your SSID and connect to it and make sure your device picks up a valid DHCP address from 172.16.25.x. Once your are on your valid social wifi network you will just log into the web ui.

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.

Please ensure you document the following; IP address of your device & gateway, DNS server address Radius connection, Cloud connection,VPN connection

If you are having issues with the social wifi hardware you may need to reset it to catch the latest firmware. Here are the steps to do so

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.

If your not going with a wireless site survey, the next best thing to download is a free tool such as meta geeks free tool that will show you your RSSI and SNR strength. Your threshold for RSSI should be around -70 to -75 and SNR always above 25.
