The Old Way vs The IronWiFi Way
Say goodbye to security gaps and tedious manual setup
The Old Way (Painful)
- One password for everything - not great for security
- Can't tell devices apart or track them
- Setting up VLANs manually for each device
- Can't kick off just one device when there's a problem
- Login pages don't work for devices without screens
- No way to know what connected and when
- Everything on one flat network - risky
With IronWiFi (Easy)
- Each device gets its own identity - certificate or MAC
- See exactly what's connecting and when
- VLANs are assigned automatically - no manual work
- Revoke any device instantly with one click
- Works perfectly with screenless devices
- Watch device activity in real-time
- Devices are automatically separated by type
No credit card needed. 14 days free. Works with whatever access points you've got.
Everything You Need to Connect IoT Securely
We've built all the tools so you can focus on what matters
Certificates for Each Device
Your high-security devices get their own unique certificate - no shared passwords needed. It's the gold standard for IoT authentication, and we make it simple. Learn about WPA-Enterprise →
MAC-Based Auth for Simple Devices
Got devices that don't support fancy authentication? No problem. We'll identify them by their MAC address - perfect for printers, sensors, and older equipment.
Automatic Network Segmentation
Devices land in the right VLAN automatically based on what they are. No manual config needed - just set your rules once and forget about it.
Set It Up Once, Then Relax
Deploy certificates automatically through SCEP/EST. Hook it up to your MDM and new devices configure themselves. That's it.
Keep Track of Every Device
See what's connected, when it last checked in, and its entire connection history. Need to revoke access? One click and it's done.
Works With Your Existing Gear
Cisco, Aruba, Ruckus, Meraki, Ubiquiti, Fortinet - we play nice with all of them. If it supports 802.1X, we've got you covered.
Here's How It Works
Four simple steps from adding a device to it landing in the right network
Add Your Device
Pop in the MAC address or set up a certificate. Need to add a bunch at once? Upload a CSV or connect to your asset management system.
Set Your Rules
Tell us which VLAN each device type should use, how to authenticate, when they can connect, and any other settings you need.
Device Shows Up
When a device tries to connect, we check its credentials - whether that's a certificate, password, or just its MAC address. Quick and automatic.
It Goes to the Right Place
We tell your access point exactly which VLAN to put the device in. It happens automatically - no manual switching needed.
Pick the Right Method for Each Device
Different devices need different approaches - here's what we support

Got Questions? We've Got Answers
Here's what people usually ask about IoT authentication
What if my devices don't support 802.1X?
No worries - that's what MAC Authentication Bypass is for. We'll identify devices by their MAC address and still apply all your policies, including VLAN assignment. Add device profiling if you want extra security.
Can I use certificates for IoT devices?
Absolutely! If your devices support 802.1X, you can use EAP-TLS with device certificates. Our SCEP server can push certificates to smart devices through your MDM automatically.
How does automatic VLAN assignment work?
When a device connects, we tell your access point which VLAN to put it in. You set the rules once (by device type, MAC, certificate, whatever you want) and it just works from there.
What if a device gets compromised?
Hit the revoke button and it's off your network instantly. For MAC auth, just remove it from your list. For certificates, revoke it and we update the revocation list right away.
Can I connect this to my existing systems?
Yep! We've got REST APIs for device management. Connect your CMDB, asset management system, or IoT platform and devices will be added and removed automatically.
What about devices that randomize their MAC?
Some devices do that for privacy. You can either use certificate-based auth instead, or set the device to use a static MAC. We also support MAC patterns if you want to group similar devices together.
