Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about campus WiFi security
How do students connect their personal devices?
Students visit a self-service portal, sign in with their school Google or Microsoft account, and receive a WiFi profile automatically. The whole process takes under 2 minutes.
What happens when a student leaves or graduates?
When their account is disabled in your identity provider, their WiFi access is automatically revoked. No manual intervention needed.
Can we have different networks for students and faculty?
Yes. You can create separate SSIDs with different security policies, bandwidth limits, and VLAN assignments based on user role in your directory.
How do school-issued Chromebooks connect?
Certificates are pushed automatically via Google Admin Console. Chromebooks connect to the secure network without any student interaction required.
Is IronWiFi compatible with content filtering?
Yes. IronWiFi works alongside your existing content filter (GoGuardian, Lightspeed, etc.) and can assign users to filtered VLANs based on their role.
Does this work with our existing access points?
Yes. IronWiFi works with any RADIUS-capable access points including Cisco Meraki, Aruba, UniFi, Ruckus, and 50+ other vendors.
