I'm not. The question was for input for our own managed wifi at IgniteNet.
Of course anyone can use the info to make their products better too!

Not even that. Most people are terrified of their own computers. Why would they 
want to mess with a mysterious box they barely know exists?

Is that because they don't want a personal SSID/passcode, guest network, etc.?  
Or is it because they are terrified of a typical enterprise management config 
interface?

Re: [AFMUG] Managed WiFi question

[Rob Genovesi]

We have been demoing SmartRG's device manager.  We do both xDSL and fixed
wireless, SmartRG has a nice xDSL modem/router we've been using for
awhile.  They have an ethernet model that could work with fixed wireless,
fiber, etc.  http://www.smartrg.com/hardware

Their Device Manager is a TR-069 platform, designed to work with SmartRG
products but you can incorporate other products that support TR-069 with
some (a lot of)work.  I'm sure they would be happy to integrate other
products - for a price.  http://www.smartrg.com/device-manager

So far seems to be a pretty simple/solid platform for managing customer
devices, changing Wi-Fi SSID/passwords, etc and basic troubleshooting
inside the network.  It has a basic customer portal so that customers can
login and self-help.

Functional, but not the "wow factor" I was hoping for when trying to figure
out our next generation managed platform.  Would really love to see
Ubiquiti do an MSP version of AmpliFi - would jump all over that.  All.
Over. That.

Hi folks,

For those of you offering managed WiFi to your subscribers, how do
you provision the devices?  And day 2, do you let the subscriber
make changes?

Thanks!

Re: [AFMUG] Managed WiFi question

[Christopher Gray]

To reply to the original question:

We use a few options:

*Cambium R200 provisioned by cnMaestro (leased for $9-$12 per device
depending on area)
*UniFi USG / UAP provisioned by off-site UniFi Controller (purchased
outright then managed for $5 + $5 per device)
*Mimosa G2 no remote provisioning, requires external network access (leased
for $9-$12 per device depending on area)

I'm surprised at how few people want access to change anything. I do have
one company on UniFi that I have provided with a controller login. With the
R200, I allow customer control from the Basic login, but I've only had one
person ask about it. It is easy enough to re-provision the R200 that I'm
not that concerned about people making their own changes on the limited
accounts.

Re: [AFMUG] Managed WiFi question

[Steve Jones]

just a basic air router, dump a script in it that changes the management
ports, drops a few firewall rules that only allows management from our
network, drops from everywhere else. disables the reset button, puts in our
password, enable/disables a few things, puts a DMZ to an IP out of the DHCP
pool. the only things we do manually is pull the MAC from the BMU in
powercode and assign it to the customer in powercode, set the ESSID, and
set the WPA key to the numbers off the manufacturer sticker (available
remotely in the GUI) set their name and tell them if they want to dick with
the wireless, they can replace the router with their own.
Now that we have serverplus going we are considering options since they'll
do the support, a passthrough cost isn't all that valuable since providing
"managed" anything adds a layer of issues and hassle (my internet is down.
Everytime I go out to the barn it goes out.. how far is your barn, and
where is the router?... the router is in the basement and the barn is on
the other side of the apple trees only about 1500 feet away)

Re: [AFMUG] Managed WiFi question

[Jesse DuPont]

  
  
We do the same as ServerPlus: ReadyNet WRT500 and AC1200M routers.
Except, rather than charging customers on an invoice line item, we
just raised our prices for all new customers (after May 1st) and
include the WRT500 at no charge (AC1200M is $7 more per month).
TR-069 for monitoring, but we also use ReadyNet's provisioning
system (which is HTTP config file download) so even after factory
reset, router will re-provision itself with customer's PPPoE
username/pass along with SSID and pass (which we leave default).

The customer can change settings as they see fit, but SSID &
passphrase will be reset back to what we set it to within an hour.
So they just have to call us if they want to control it or have us
change it (we'll accommodate either).

Re: [AFMUG] Managed WiFi question

[Layne Sisk]

We use a Readynet router that we provide to the ISP, and we charge $10 per 
month for the router (usually passed through to the end user).  That $10 pays 
for the router with a lifetime warranty, and it pays for all end users support. 
 We send the routers configured to report back in to the management server, so 
when the customer plugs it in, it pulls configs from the server for that ISP 
and we have access to it.  We have several hundred end users using it now, and 
it they love it and it makes troubleshooting s much easier!

Re: [AFMUG] Managed WiFi question

[Harold Bledsoe]

Thanks Layne and that's the kind of WiFi I mean.  Managed WiFi is kind of a
vague proposition.  I'm asking about this kind - where you charge $x/mo
more and handle it for the sub.

How did it get managed in the first place and how did it get associated
with a particular ISP and end-user subscriber?

My 2 cents - ISPs need a competitive WiFi solution that rivals Eero, Luma,
Google WiFi, etc. so that they can make money on that vs. letting someone
else make money on that.  Then how to minimize the friction of
provisioning, installing it.  I just got Cox and the Panorama WiFi thing is
pretty painful for example.

Re: [AFMUG] Managed WiFi question

[Layne Sisk]

Our managed router solution gives us access to control the device remotely, 
including resetting and changing SSID and PW.  If they screw it up we can 
almost always fix it because even if they factory reset it comes back to the 
server to get it’s configuration.

Hi folks,

For those of you offering managed WiFi to your subscribers, how do you 
provision the devices?  And day 2, do you let the subscriber make changes?

Thanks!

Hi folks,

For those of you offering managed WiFi to your subscribers, how do you
provision the devices?  And day 2, do you let the subscriber make changes?
