Access Zones

Midco Business Wi-Fi Pro has three different access zones to ensure the safety of all the devices connected to your network: Secure zone, Employee zone and Guest zone. All access zones provide internet access, although the local access requirements and your business needs determine which zone should be used for each device. 

A separate service set identifier (SSID) is used to access each zone.

Updating Access Zone Names

  1. Navigate to the Settings page. 
  2. Tap the > icon next to the network you wish to edit (Secure Wi-Fi, Employee Wi-Fi or Guest Wi-Fi). 
  3. Tap on the pencil icon and enter the new name. The name used must be different from the Secure and Guest zones. 

Updating Access Zone Passwords

  1. Navigate to the Settings page. 
  2. Tap the > icon next to the network you wish to edit (Secure Wi-Fi, Employee Wi-Fi or Guest Wi-Fi). 
  3. Tap the ⋮ icon next to Wi-Fi password. 
  4. Tap Edit. 
  5. Update the password and tap Save. 

Any devices using the previous password will need to be updated with the new password. The Copy option lets you copy and paste the new password in an email for your employees. 

Secure Zone

The Secure zone is meant for devices that require the most protection. Devices connected to the Secure zone can access each other over the local network but cannot be accessed by devices connected to either the Employee zone or Guest zone by default. 

All Ethernet-connected devices are also automatically placed in the Secure zone. This is ideal for devices that require extra protection, such as:   

  • Point of sale (POS)  
  • Security cameras, network servers and other security equipment 
  • IoT devices  

If you have resources on the network that you wish to share over the network with select employees, they can also be placed in the Secure zone. This includes: 

  • Printers 
  • File servers and network-attached storage (NAS) 
  • Smart displays and other network-attached media devices  

Secure zone devices can be grouped to make access sharing easier. 

Employee Zone

The Employee zone is meant for employees' devices. This allows you to manage their access to any shared resources on the Secure zone. Devices to keep on the Employee zone: 

  • Employee laptops 
  • Employee mobile phones 
  • Employee tablets and smart devices 

All devices connected to the employee SSID (service set identifier) have local network access to each other. 

Each employee can have customized local network access to specific Secure zone devices. Online Protection, Content Access and Adblocking can also be customized at the individual employee level. 

You can block all local network access to any new devices connecting to the Employee zone until you manually approve access. 

And, the Keycard feature lets you access device-usage analytics and review timecard data to help with future scheduling and increase workplace productivity.

Guest Zone

This zone is meant strictly for your guests. All devices connected to the Guest zone only have internet access with no local network access. It is not possible to share any local network resources (like printers) with guests. 

Only screen-enabled devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops, can connect to the Guest zone because they need to sign-in using the Guest captive portal, which is required every 24 hours. 

Best of all, the Concierge feature turns guest analytics into opportunities for your business. React to visit frequency, data usage, length of stay and more.
