In the Access Security section use the following settings:

Click Save.
Add the access points to Social WiFi panel
The setup of the controller is now finished. The last step is to add all access points to the Social WiFi platform.
Go to Devices in the menu on the left. You’ll find the list of all connected access points. One of the columns should be “MAC”. You’ll need to copy the MAC address and paste it into Social WiFi panel.
To do that, switch to Social WiFi Panel, go to Access Points tab, click the Add button and paste the MAC address of the access point.
Click Create. Repeat this step for each access point.
Test the solution
Connect with the WiFi network. You should see a login page. Go through the login process and, once finished, you should have internet access. You should see first connections and authorisations in the Social WiFi Panel’s statistics section.
