Only authenticated users gain full access to the internet. Unauthenticated users gain access only to the internet resources that are specified in the walled garden  Walled garden  Specifies which HTTP and HTTPS resources can be accessed by unauthenticated users JoinMyWifi – Ionas Iona Hotspot using social accounts 5 of 24  Hotspot concepts (2/2)  Default MikroTik hotspot’s login web-page JoinMyWifi – Ionas Iona Hotspot using social accounts 6 of 24  Hotspot on router vs. access points (APs)  We recommend hotspot on router  Centralized management  Advanced operating system  Less hardware required (Large enterprises require many APs for wifi coverage)  No need to replace/reconfigure current infrastructure  Easier/faster deployment  Cost effective JoinMyWifi – Ionas Iona Hotspot using social accounts 7 of 24  Pages on server vs. router  We recommend pages on server. Although this approach lacks in speed, the benefits are described below  No need for massive updates on routers when new versions of the software are released  No need for router update when a client decides to change platform configuration  Almost all pages reside in one domain (avoiding cross side scripting issues)  Pages are created dynamically – Flexibility to customize pages for each user specifically  Source code is more manageable  Painless debugging  Smooth transition to global scale Joi
