Grace Period
Grace Period defines the time after which the WiFi guest has to log in again after disconnecting from WiFi. By default this option is unchecked so the guest would need to log in again each time he or she disconnects from the WiFi.
To change the Grace Period go to: Admin & Services -> Services -> Hotspot Services -> Edit
Here, check the Grace Period box and set up the time for whatever you'd like it to be. We recommend 3 days (4320 minutes).

In order to add a device to Social WiFi platform:

In the “Access Points” tab, press “Add” (upper right corner), paste the MAC address of your Access Point (adding a name is optional) and click “Create”.
You have completed the configuration and you can test the setup by logging into the network through the Access Point.
