Your wireless controller and access-point system may do a lot of things well. But chances are, you’re frustrated by what they can’t do.
For example, have you noticed that cloud-based wireless controllers usually can’t handle DHCP for VLANs or inter-VLAN routing? (Note: If you use Ubiquiti UniFi APs, click here.)
Truth is, most don’t have the features needed to be a complete multi-SSID solution. That limits your options and flexibility in today’s complex BYOD world.
When connected to your access points (must be purchased separately), our powerful, easy-to-use wireless-network support* is comparable to big-name brands like Cisco Meraki, Ruckus Wireless, and Aruba Networks.
It has all the brawn you need at a fraction of the price. And unlike with many of our competitors, you won’t get slammed with upgrade costs, hidden charges, or recurring licensing fees.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) for Each VLAN
The DHCP server hands out custom IP addresses for every SSID, so you can allot different content-filtering parameters to each SSID. This saves you the hassle of having to assign individual IP addresses to every user.
For example:
Inter-VLAN Routing
Allows traffic on one SSID to travel to other SSIDs, the Internet, and different areas of your local area network. In other words, it can serve as your core router.
Multicast DNS (Domain Name System)
Permits communication between network-connected devices, applications, and services, no matter which SSID the user is on.
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service)
An alternative to filtering through SSIDs. Users enter a username and password to authenticate their status (student, teacher, etc.) and are filtered accordingly.
VLAN Firewall*
Blocks guests and other “outsiders” from accessing your school’s local servers when they log on to your wireless network. It’s a secure way to keep your resources off limits to unauthorized users.

Requirements
WirelessTrakker is easy to set up and deploy on your own, but we’re here to help if you have questions (877-225-0100 or support@K12USA.com).
If you have SecureSchool—or are in the market for this excellent content filter/firewall//cache server—you can skip the WirelessTrakker appliance altogether and opt for WirelessTrakker Universal Wireless Support add-on.
It has all the functionality of the device but is conveniently integrated into the SecureSchool system. You get the capabilities of both tools in one appliance—at a lower price.
No money down, zero obligation. You’ll see why schools across the country love our wireless-network support. Just fill out our quickie form or call 877-225-0100 today, and we’ll set you up in a jiffy.
