WIFI PASSwords

[ChangedName]

So i have a restaurant and i want my guest to connect to our wifi and automatically disconnect them. is there a way to automatically make different wifi passwords or a wifi password that is only accesible to one person and automatically delete that pass but still the person that used that pass is still connected

Yes, with a good programmer and a suitably expensive Cisco wifi router.

We use something similar to this at work. The programmer and gear set us back about 10k

Not that I am aware of. What you are asking for is not a common task, and is generally used in an Enterprise setting (in our case, visiting guests can bring their own wireless device and they get a custom username and password, usable only once while they are there)

It's possible you can find a software package to do this, you'll need to do some googling, but I strongly doubt it, this sort of thing is very specific.

What you're asking for is high-grade level stuff, unfortunately. Get a router w the ability to have dual broadcast, so you can have one network utilize x network name and x password and then guests when they come will have to use the passsword you placed or whatever when they come to eat. Just give hte password to paying partrons only and stuff like that.

Keep it simple. Print the wifi password on the menu so only guests can access the wifi. Change the wifi password every now and then if you like. There's not really anything else you can do. You might wanna limit the speeds per user, so you won't have customers downloading huge files and slowing down the whole network.

You could use Ubiquity Unifi AP's and use the guest portal function. You would then need a programmer to make a custom portal for you which checks the credentials entered in the portal to a database and then returns to the unifi controller if the auth check was okay.

 

or make it connect to a radius server which uses a voucher system

is it possible that a password is only a 1 time use. like 1 person can only use that pass

You need a capture portal to provide this type of functionality.  However to implement this type of functionality you will need to do some reading and understand what you are trying to achieve.  No one can give you a blanket, do X, Y, Z in 3 steps and its done.

We can provide recommendations, but you need to make a choice on how to implement it.

 

Here would be my recommendation;

Ubiquiti Access Point(s) with guest capture portal functionality
https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/205202640-UniFi-Guest-Portal-Promotional-URL-Automatic-Redirection
 

Custom capture portal via pfSense router
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Captive_Portal

 

Custom rules according to your requirements, e.g remove user X after 120 minutes.

I have to question why you are trying to over complicate this?

 

As already mentioned, just put the password in the Menu. Or put up signs that say “WIFI password available upon request”, and have your staff give out the password when asked. 

 

Then just change the password every week or every month.
