Why it matters
Stores, branches and sites need reliable Wi-Fi for staff, point-of-sale and devices, and many also offer Wi-Fi to customers. Running that from a separate vendor adds another console and another contract. Nexapp keeps Wi-Fi with the same vendor as your WAN and security, so one team supports the whole site.
- One support line for the site: router, SD-WAN, firewall and Wi-Fi under one SLA.
- Guest access kept apart: a guest SSID with per-SSID isolation, and a guest VLAN with QoS so guest traffic cannot crowd out operations.
- Guest data handled with care: captive-portal sign-in helps you record consent and prepare for DPDP obligations that apply from about May 2027.
InstaWave hotspot and guest Wi-Fi
InstaWave gives visitors and customers internet access through a captive portal.
How it works
- Install Wi-Fi-capable Instaroute routers at the site. Each one calls home at power-on and pulls its full configuration, including Wi-Fi, with zero-touch provisioning.
- Configure staff and guest networks centrally in SDWAN Lite 2.0: access point, guest SSID or station mode, with a CLI preview before every push.
- Protect business traffic through the Nexapp secured edge with firewall and web filtering.
- Monitor through the 24×7 NOC.
