The following instructions outline how to setup a Zyxel Nebula Cloud SSID for the Smart WiFi Platform. This guide assumes that your Zyxel Nebula Cloud equipment is already operational with a live network ready to configure for Guest WiFi. Please make sure any firewall rules, web content filters, and other security measures have been configured to interface with the platform.
The MAC of every AP that broadcasts the configured Guest WiFi must be reported to support.
