This document (see Attachments section below) provides step-by-step instructions for configuring a travel router to broadcast a localized Wi-Fi network from a hardwired, venue-provided Ethernet connection. It is designed to ensure event staff have a dedicated, reliable internet connection for check-in tablets without relying on shared, campus-wide Wi-Fi.
This guide covers:
- Physical Setup: Specific cabling instructions for WAN and power connections.
- Hardware Verification: Expected hardware switch positions and diagnostic light sequences.
- Network Access: SSID naming conventions, password details, and captive portal authentication steps.
- Best Practices: Operational advice to restrict network access strictly to registration devices, preventing bandwidth degradation from general attendee use.
This guide doesn't cover:
- How to setup the tablet and test badge label printing
- How to configure the rest of the badge printing kit
THE TRAVEL ROUTER isn't included in the standard printer kit and is purchased as an additional service.
