What kind of network are we building for you today?

Wired Only (Router and/or Switches)

Wireless Only

Wired & Wireless

Did you purchase an HA (High Availability) Redundant Firewall for your project?

No

Yes

We HIGHLY recommend setting up a management VLAN to your network. This would be the core network VLAN so that if any other VLAN is affected by a troubled device, hacked into, etc. it will not prohibit the access and resolution of the issue via the network core. Do you want us to setup a management VLAN for this site? Note that it can essentially be invisible to your devices and they can still act as a "flat network" if you don't want other VLANs.

YES, please make it your default of 10.143.0.0/24

NO, I don't want that for some reason.

Yes, but make it a different subnetYes, but make it a different subnet

Question: Have you marked on the switch form for this site what ports all of the AP's will be placed?

Yes

No. I understand we will have to contact WhyReboot support when deploying the site to make sure the AP ports are properly configured.

Note that if you have not marked up the switch form, your AP's will not work until we can set the trunk ports correctly on the respective switch(es) and so your team will need to let us know before it will broadcast properly!!!

Enter a VLAN name, Gateway IP Address, and VLAN tag (optional) you'd like to use.

Click to add as many as you would like. We will send you switch port forms requesting specific port information. Not sure? Just let us know and we can design it for you! AVOID USING COMMON SUBNETS SUCH AS 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.0.0/24, AND 10.0.0.0/24 AS THESE CAN CAUSE CONFLICTS WITH EVERYTHING FROM MODEMS TO SPEAKERS.

How are we managing the wireless network?

Is this a new or existing WhyReboot wireless site?

This is important so that we know if we're adding APs to an existing site or if we're creating an entirely new site.

If we are NOT providing the APs, please enter your serial numbers below so we can add them to the system.

Please type the network name (SSID) you would like for the primary network. *

Best practices dictate not using the client name or address in any part of the network name.

Please choose the type of encryption you would like for this network. *

Note: The best and most secure choice is WPA2/AES. Anything else is insecure and also cannot attain 802.11n speeds or greater. WPA/TKIP should only be used for legacy equipment that cannot connect to WPA2/AES.

Please type the password you would like for this network. *

The password must be a minimum of 8 characters long. Length is preferred over complexity but best practices require a combination of characters, numbers special characters, and different cases, along with at least 10 characters in length.

Please enter the VLAN, Subnet, or name of the wired network you would like this wireless network attached to. *

Would you like a "Terms of Use" page to be displayed when connecting to this network? *

Yes

No

Before connecting to the guest network users will be required to accept the terms of use before gaining wireless internet access.

Please enter the text you would like displayed for the "Terms of Use" page. Please skip this step if the default is fine.

Your company name will be entered at the bottom as "powering" the network.

Do you want your logo to appear on the "Terms of Use" page? *

Yes

No

Please upload the logo you would like us to use here.

Please enter the VLAN, Subnet, or name of the wired network you would like this wireless network attached to.

Do you require any additional wireless networks?

Yes

No

Some programmers require a network that is directly connected to the control system's subnet which makes discovery and troubleshooting easier. Or you may require an additional network for a secure office or a safe browsing network for children.

Will any devices require multicast settings (eg. IGMP Snooping)?

To explain our thinking on this a little more, for VLANs not designed for multicast, we avoid enabling multicast optimizations. This ensures that link-local discovery protocols such as mDNS operate as expected. While IGMP snooping should not impact these protocols by design, in practice we have seen certain network implementations effect discovery behavior, sometimes requiring additional configuration (for example, static multicast handling). Our approach is to enable multicast features only where required, allowing for cleaner and more predictable configurations.

Examples of products that would require IGMP snooping include:

Dante, AES67, Q-SYS
Crestron NVX and NAX
AVPro MXNET
Sonos

Is this a Wi-Fi 7 Deployment?

Yes

No

Important Wi-Fi 7 AFC Installation Notice

If you plan to use the 6 GHz frequency,
your installer must call our office after the AP is installed
to complete AFC setup.

AFC cannot be finalized until the AP is installed onsite.
If this step is not completed, the AP will operate at only
approximately 1/4 of its expected signal strength
on 6 GHz.

Please enter the street address of the site the APs will be deployed. This is required to setup the cloud system and/or if you are deploying Wi-Fi 7 AP's that require 6GHz. *
