General Requirements

For any hardware to work with CaptiFi, it must support:

1. External captive portal (redirect to a URL for guest login)
2. RADIUS or API authentication (to validate guest logins)
3. Guest network isolation (recommended for security)

How BYOD Works

1. Your access point detects a new guest connection
2. It redirects the guest to the CaptiFi portal URL
3. The guest completes the splash page login
4. CaptiFi authenticates the guest via your AP's API/RADIUS
5. The guest is granted internet access
