Guest WiFi hardware: set it up, then keep it working

VoqadoWiFi is software. Your access points and controller stay yours, and the controller sends guests to the VoqadoWiFi login as an external captive portal. These guides cover the two platforms that do that today, controller by controller, and what to check when a guest cannot get online.

Which hardware works with VoqadoWiFi?
TP-Link Omada and Ubiquiti UniFi. On either one, the controller hands each new guest to the VoqadoWiFi login page and opens the network when the guest signs in. There is no VoqadoWiFi hardware to buy, and other brands are not supported today.

Set up by brand and controller

Pick the brand, then the controller. The portal setting, the address the controller calls and what breaks all differ by controller, so each one has its own page.

TP-Link Omada

External portal server on Omada controllers, hardware, software or cloud.

Ubiquiti UniFi

External portal on UniFi OS consoles and self hosted Network Servers.

Other brands: guides, not support

VoqadoWiFi does not work with these brands today. Where a guide exists it explains the vendor's own guest portal options from the vendor's documentation, so you can run guest WiFi on what you already own.

The checks that save a second visit to the venue.

When a guest cannot get online

Start from what the guest sees. Each page gives the cause, the check and the fix, with Omada and UniFi steps where they differ.

All symptoms with their causes are on the troubleshooting index.
