One of the added benefits of utilizing Cobot's RADIUS Wifi Integration is being able to create guest and group accounts.

Guest accounts allow you to create temporary logins so non-members can access your wifi. This is ideal for non-members, such as members' guests or groups of people attending events in your space.

Group accounts allow you to manage the download speeds of certain people. This can be useful if you want to give higher speed to members on specific plans.


Setting up Guest Accounts

1. Go to Setup » Wifi integration

2. At the bottom of the page, click the link "Add wifi guest accounts"

3. Configure the details as needed

Once done, you can give as many guests as you need wifi access using the new guest account.

By setting an expiration date, they will expire automatically, or you can manually remove them at any time.

At the bottom of the page under Setup » Wifi integration, a list of active guest accounts are displayed for you to manage or remove.


Setting up Group Accounts

You can manage groups on your Cobot wifi integration by setting up VLANs (virtual networks) on your router itself. For example, this will allow you to give groups of people (such as all those in a specific plan type) different download speeds.

Instructions on how to set VLANs should be in your wifi router's/access point's manual. You will need to find out what RADIUS attributes your wifi needs to assign VLANS.

After that, you can set up groups and assign the required attributes in Cobot:

1. Go to Setup » Wifi integration » Manage Groups

2. Enter a Group Name » + Add Group

3. Add Attributes

4. Add Group Members

Feel free to add test groups as you can easily remove them.
