Key Access
Key Access is the simplest Wiacom mode for Meraki. Guests register via your Guest Connect page and receive your venue’s shared WPA2 password and a QR code by email.
How It Works
SSID configured
You configure a WPA2 Personal SSID on Meraki with your venue password.
SSID connected
You connect that SSID to Wiacom with the Key Access role.
Guest registers
A guest registers at your Guest Connect URL or scans your QR code.
Credentials delivered
Wiacom sends a confirmation email with the WiFi password and a scannable QR code.
Guest connects
The guest connects using the credentials in the email.
SSID Configuration in Meraki
| Setting | Value |
|---|
| Security | WPA2 Personal |
| Splash page | None (direct access) |
Updating the Shared Password
- Go to Inventory → Controllers → [controller]
- Find the Key Access SSID and click the edit icon
- Enter the new passphrase and click Save
Wiacom pushes the change to Meraki immediately. Existing connected devices will be disconnected when the password changes.
Limitations
All guests share the same password — it is not individually revocable. Changing the password disconnects all existing connected devices.
For individual, revocable credentials, use WiFi Pass instead.
