The setup of the controller is now finished. The last step is to add all access points to the Social WiFi platform.
Go to Inventory -> Wi-Fi AP Groups -> Default Enterprise. Copy the MAC Address from the "MAC Address' column.
Now, switch to Social WiFi Panel, go to Access Points tab, click the Add button and paste the MAC address. Click Create.

Connect with the WiFi network. You should see a login page. Go through the login process and, once finished, you should have internet access. You should see first connections and authorizations in the Social WiFi Panel’s statistics section.
