(More customer reviews)We are using this gateway for our church, and it's working great. It's setup so anyone can connect to our wifi, and when connected they can only access our church website or enter a password to access the full internet. It displays a friendly message much like popular coffee shops with our guidelines for using the network, and explains how to find the password (we want visitors to come inside, not just sit out on the street).
The setup was pretty easy, the biggest inconvenience is you have to reboot after every change. The features are a bit limited because it's designed to do one thing, and one thing only: Provide guest internet access. You can tell it a list of computers to always allow access, and do some fancy stuff with certain passwords working at certain times. We also plugged multiple Linksys routers into this unit to expand the coverage around the church. The Guestgate protects both the wireless and wired networks so we didn't have to do anything fancy there.
The only feature I wish it had but didn't, was some way to make the allow list the only people who can access the private network. We have a printer that office staff needs to print to when connected wirelessly. It seems to only allow all access or no access to specific computers on the private network. The printer we have is on a random IP, uses specific drivers, and has password protection, so chances are nobody is going to figure out how to get into it. But it'd be nice if we knew for sure they couldn't.
