Connect hardware and run the live test

Hardware setup has two distinct proofs: the controller configuration can be read or validated, and a real guest can complete the full journey.

Configure

1. Select the venue and open Hardware.
2. Choose the exact WiFi family in use.
3. Confirm the required controller feature and firmware family shown in the guide.
4. Create the connection and reveal any one-time secret only when the controller form is ready.
5. Copy the Portal URL, redirect or callback value, allowed destinations, ports and identifiers exactly as displayed.
6. Attach the external portal to the intended guest SSID—not a staff, private or similarly named network.
7. Save the controller configuration and return to WeefyBox.
8. Run Test connection and resolve every failed stage before continuing.

Prove with a real device

1. Start the guided live test in WeefyBox.
2. On a phone, forget the guest network and reconnect from WiFi settings.
3. Use the operating system's Sign in to WiFi action if the captive window does not open automatically.
4. Complete the guest form and accept the required terms.
5. Wait for the connected result, then close the captive window.
6. Open an ordinary HTTPS website and confirm it loads through WiFi.
7. Return to WeefyBox and confirm the launch, authorization and session milestones.

Do not use the presence of a WiFi icon—or the absence of a 5G label—as the only internet test. Mobile operating systems can retain cellular indicators while a captive network is awaiting authorization.
