Meraki access points support custom RADIUS authentication, allowing you to deploy Spotipo's captive portal on your existing Meraki network without firmware changes or hardware additions. This integration enables email capture, social login, and paid WiFi access while maintaining Meraki's cloud management capabilities.

This guide walks you through creating a Meraki site in Spotipo, configuring custom-hosted splash pages, setting up RADIUS servers, and configuring walled garden access for seamless authentication.

What you'll accomplish:

Create a Meraki site in Spotipo and generate RADIUS credentials
Configure custom-hosted splash page in Meraki dashboard
Set up RADIUS authentication and accounting servers
Configure walled garden for Spotipo and optional payment/social login domains

What you'll need:

Meraki access points with active license
Admin access to Meraki dashboard
Active Spotipo account (start free trial)

You can use Spotipo as a custom Radius server on your Meraki network. This allows using your existing Meraki network to deploy a hotspot without the need to have any firmware changes.
