We just installed museum-wide wi-fi. We split the access into two: MIA_wireless for public and MIA_Internal for staff. The MIA_wireless goes out a separate DSL line and does not have access to our internal network. We are working on adding a page where a user agrees to terms of use before connecting. (We have the wording from our attorney). This is similar to most hot spots. The MIA_Internal gives full access to our internal network. The I.S. department is the only one with the security credentials. We are putting these on MIA owned laptops. If anyone wants access from a personal device, we review the appropriateness of the request and enter the credentials on the device. We do not publish the security credentials or make them available outside our department. Smart phones, staff or public, connect to the public network as they do not have the software for our internal network and systems. John

Also, any information about how you have your WiFi setup and who can access it would be helpful.
