Role-based campus access
Students, staff and guests get different packages and rules — from free staff access to paid hostel plans.
Schools & campuses
Run campus Wi-Fi with access you can control.
Authnet gives schools a single system to authorise staff, students and guests, sell term or hotspot packages for hostels and dorms, and keep the whole network accountable with per-user rules.
CAPABILITIES
Campus connectivity, under control
Purpose-built for schools, hostels and campus networks.
Term and hotspot billing
Sell daily, term or semester packages with quota and time limits that the network enforces.
Per-hostel and per-floor plans
Structure packages by hostel, floor, room block or coverage area so billing matches where students live.
RADIUS-managed connections
Every device is authorised through the edge router before internet access, with shared secrets and encrypted 802.1X where required.
Automatic enforcement
Expired subscriptions drop off the network automatically — no manual disconnection at the end of term.
Usage and revenue insight
Track activations, expiries and revenue per hostel, venue or network system in the dashboard.
WHY AUTHNET
Why schools and campuses run networks on Authnet
Wi-Fi access is part of your service promise. Authnet removes the manual work — issuing codes, logging into routers, chasing expiries — so access becomes an automated, monetized part of the experience your customers already expect.
- One access policy for staff, students and visitors instead of shared passwords shared everywhere.
- Sell term, hotspot and voucher packages for hostels and dorms without manual log-ins.
- Expired accounts are cut off by the network, not by a helpdesk ticket.
- Understand real demand per hostel and venue before investing in more bandwidth.
- Guest visitors get safe, time-boxed access that never touches staff systems.

FAQ
Common questions
Can we block students from guests systems?
Yes. Packages and coverage areas are per business workspace, and access rules are enforced at the edge, so guest and staff traffic can be separated.
Does it work for small schools too?
Yes. Authnet is designed for neighborhood ISPs and campus networks of any size — from single-hostel setups to multi-venue campuses.
