Installing and activating the ZYXEL Hotspot Management subscription is designed to be straightforward for hospitality IT teams. Begin by ensuring your USG Flex 700 device is running a compatible firmware version and is accessible from the Zyxel cloud management portal. Then apply the license to your account and associate it with the appropriate USG Flex 700 devices and guest networks. The following steps outline a typical deployment path:

• Step 1 — Prepare and validate: Confirm your license is active and linked to the correct Zyxel account. Verify that the USG Flex 700 is online, reachable from the management portal, and that firmware is up to date to support hotspot features.

• Step 3 — Bind license to devices: Attach the 1-year hospitality hotspot license to the USG Flex 700 devices you intend to manage. This establishes the license scope for hotspot services, concurrent device monitoring, and AP management.
• Step 4 — Configure guest networks: Create or modify SSIDs for guest access, set captive portal options, and define authentication methods (open, splash page, social login, or voucher-based access). Apply usage policies and bandwidth controls appropriate for a hospitality environment.
• Step 5 — Deploy hotspot policies and monitoring: Implement guest isolation, firewall rules, and traffic shaping to ensure a secure and smooth guest experience. Use the analytics and reporting tools within the portal to monitor throughput, device counts, and hotspot health across venues.
• Step 6 — Onboard staff and test: Provide role-based access to front-desk or IT staff, run end-to-end guest login tests, and verify that roaming between access points remains seamless for guests.
