    Individual area access to church buildings WiFi


    The local church has WiFi coverage to the main building and via repeaters to the two halls. The setup is the main modem/hub (BT) in the church on a pillar giving good WiFi coverage to almost everywhere in the church itself. A cable connection goes via repeater to the halls - has to have a repeater as distance is about 150 metres and WiFi signal does not extend through 2-3 foot thick medieval walls. This cable provides good WiFi to the halls. Two issues. 1 - I don't know the password for the hall repeater but assume, if it is like my home setup, that it is the same as the BT master one. When I connected Hive, my laptop and my phone when first installing it I used the WPS button. Any way I can check to see what the password is? Nothing on Netgear repeater. 2 - The main issue. The vicar wants to be able to give access to hall users, as, in case of internet access problems, we would have records of who was in and when. She wants access to church WiFi to be limited to church officials as we don't want open access to WiFi as the church is open all day and unmanned. (We are fortunate to live in a safe area and can do this!). Is it possible for each repeater to have its own password? That way I can separate hall and church access. There is no computer connected anywhere - the few who need access connect as needed with their laptops.

    :)

    Secure access to church WiFi

    I have setup a WiFi network in our local church, mainly to provide on-line access to Hive heating. Much easier to set times from home than have to go down to program church and hall heating as needed.
    We are now being asked to grant access by various people - all for good reason. But I know what people are like with passwords - half the congregation now seem to know the codes to the door lock and alarm!

    Can someone point me to a simple (and cheap!) way of setting up limited and restricted access please?

    How did simply giving them access to WiFi also give them codes to unlock the door and alarm?

    Anyway, on my router there is a setting in the guest network setup which limits those connected to guest WiFi to only accessing the internet, and nothing on the local network. Sounds like what you want to do is create a guest WiFi connection then make sure the option to access local network and other devices on the network is NOT checked:

    Does the congregation use the church WIFI to stream services and look up things during Sunday services and during the day?
