WiFi Solutions for Houses of Worship
Reliable, Secure and Easy-to-Manage WiFi for Churches and Other Houses of Worship
Provide reliable WiFi Internet access for your congregation, staff, visitors, study groups and special events with a Guest Internet Hotspot gateway. Guest Internet controllers make it easy to manage how your Internet connection is shared while helping maintain network performance, security and appropriate Internet access.
Many churches, ministries and houses of worship provide WiFi so members and visitors can access online study materials, religious resources, event information and other Internet services. Guest Internet controllers work with your existing Internet service and can also integrate with existing wireless access points and network infrastructure.
Control how available Internet bandwidth is shared by setting download and upload speed limits for users. This helps prevent individual devices from consuming excessive bandwidth and affecting Internet performance for everyone else.

Manage WiFi Access for Your Congregation
Guest Internet gives administrators flexible tools to control who can use the WiFi network and how the Internet service is used.
- Control Internet access: Choose how members, visitors, students, volunteers and staff connect to the WiFi service.
- Manage bandwidth: Set maximum download and upload speeds for users to help distribute available Internet bandwidth fairly.
- Create restricted Internet access: Configure access to approved websites for study sessions or classes while restricting selected websites or categories, such as social media, when appropriate.
- Customize the WiFi login page: Create a branded login page for your church or organization and customize the Internet-use disclaimer.
- Protect your business and administrative network: Guest Internet controllers include firewall features designed to separate public WiFi users from protected computers and network resources.
- Monitor Internet and WiFi performance: Use Guest Internet monitoring and analytics tools to review Internet usage and network performance.
- Improve network security: Help identify and restrict devices generating potentially harmful network traffic and protect the private network from unauthorized public WiFi access.
- Use your existing network equipment: Guest Internet controllers can work with many existing wireless access points, managed switches and unmanaged switches.
WiFi for Bible Study, Classes and Religious Education
WiFi can be especially useful for Bible studies, religious classes and educational programs where participants use smartphones, tablets or laptops to access online study materials.
Administrators can configure Internet access according to the needs of the class. For example, access can be provided to selected educational or study websites while other website categories are restricted. Bandwidth limits can also be configured so that available Internet capacity is shared among participants.
WiFi for Worship Services, Events and Visitors
A house of worship may have very different WiFi requirements during a regular weekday than during a busy service, conference or community event. Guest Internet controllers provide tools to manage user access and bandwidth so the available Internet connection can be shared among many devices without allowing individual users to consume excessive capacity.
Guest WiFi can be provided separately from Internet access used by staff, administration and other protected network resources, helping organizations provide convenient public Internet access while maintaining greater control over their internal network.
