How To Configure A Social Wifi Router

By Johnny Ruhaul


First off I would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the last year or so especially for our retail, restaurant & other similar customers who have joined/subscribed to our social WiFi program.

As mentioned in our previous blog our hardware will ship from either our Toronto , Canada warehouse or our Las Vegas, Nevada office. We ship all of our hotspot social wifi hardware all across the USA.

Connectsim still sells regular social WiFi or wi-fi enabled hardware & software packages but we tend to offer a better solution or offerings by bundling all of our packages into one. You can still purchase just a regular level 1 or entry social WiFi enabled hardware from us and we will support and or install it for our customers. Currently we are only shipping our products in Canada and in the USA. Our rates are all in usd currency and depending on stock levels and inventory our products may ship from our Toronto warehouse or our Las Vegas, Nevada office.

If your DNS shows red you will not get a successful connection to our social media cloud services. If all status icons are showing green your configuration is confirmed and just connect your cable modem or broadband modem to port 4 and any other internal network resources to any other port. One other important point I wanted to cover which about 30 of our customers have asked this week is the following; how do I know if I have enough wireless coverage for my restaurant or retail environment? This is just a general answer but I always first recommend to all of our customer to have a wireless site survey for your social wifi hardware setup.

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. For more best practices on signal and coverage and hardware recommendations for your social WiFi network please stay tuned to my next article.
