How Wi-Fi Passpoint Works
Passpoint (Hotspot 2.0) is an industry standard that enables seamless, secure Wi-Fi roaming. Devices automatically discover and connect to trusted networks without user interaction.

Automatic Discovery
Device detects Passpoint-enabled networks and evaluates them against installed profiles and roaming agreements.
Secure Connection
Authentication happens silently using 802.1X and EAP methods. Connection is encrypted with WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise.
Seamless Roaming
Users move between Passpoint networks automatically, just like cellular roaming between carriers.
