Nettify Connect — Managed Hotel Wi-Fi with Dual-ISP Failover
Not just software — a full MSP. We own the gateway, monitor every access point 24/7, and failover between two ISPs automatically. Compatible with any hardware. PMS-integrated. WiFi Ads built in. The certified network foundation of the Nettify unified platform.
Nettify Connect is a fully managed hotel Wi-Fi service built on dual-ISP redundancy — if one internet provider fails, the system pivots instantly to the backup link without guest disruption. We are the MSP: we design the network topology, own the gateway, segment guest traffic for full isolation, and monitor every access point around the clock. The platform is hardware-agnostic — Ruckus, Ubiquiti, TP-Link Omada, Aruba, Ruijie, or whatever your property already runs. Features include enterprise-grade bandwidth management per room, device, and zone, seamless property-wide roaming with directional zone control, PMS-integrated authentication (Opera, Protel, VHP, GuestPro, Realta, and any other), WiFi Ads on the captive portal, loyalty-tier speed allocation, and employee onboarding with per-device access control. Connect is the certified network foundation on which every other Nettify service — IPTVcast, Cast, Sign, and Present — runs flawlessly.
The Unmanaged Network: Your Hotel's Silent Liability
Most hotels operate on "best effort" networks — no dedicated MSP, no failover, no visibility. The foundation of every digital service is left unmanaged. When it fails, everything fails.
The Security Gap
Without professional network segmentation, guest devices can see each other. Cross-talk, data exposure, and breaches become a matter of when — not if. No managed gateway means no isolation.
Single Point of Failure
One ISP link. One router. When it drops, your front desk, your POS, your guest Wi-Fi, and your IPTV all go dark simultaneously. No failover means no fallback. Your staff apologises while the provider "investigates."
Bandwidth Chaos
Without per-room, per-device bandwidth management, one guest streaming 4K in the lobby chokes the connection for an entire floor. No QoS means no fairness — and no visibility into what's consuming your pipe.
No Visibility
You can't manage what you can't see. Most hotels have no real-time dashboard, no KPIs, and no proactive alerts. Problems surface only when guests complain — by then the damage to reviews is done.
What Hotels Get with Nettify Connect
Enterprise-grade managed Wi-Fi built for hospitality — from the gateway to the guest device, we own the entire stack.
Dual-ISP Failover
Two separate ISP links, one redundant pipe. If one provider fails, the system pivots instantly. Your guests never lose connectivity and your staff never apologise for "the internet being down."
Hardware-Agnostic
No vendor lock-in. Nettify Connect integrates with your existing networking equipment — we design the optimal topology and select the right components for your property's size and budget.
Bandwidth Management & QoS
Fair allocation per room, per guest profile, per device, and per zone. Suites get more than standard rooms. Members get more than walk-ins. Unused bandwidth is automatically redistributed to connected users.
Network Security & Guest Privacy
We own the gateway and isolate guest traffic. No guest can interfere — intentionally or accidentally — with another guest's connection or data. Your network is a fortress, not a liability.
Seamless Property-Wide Roaming
Guests connect once and move freely — room to pool to lobby to restaurant — without re-authenticating. Bidirectional and unidirectional roaming zones ensure lobby visitors don't roam into guest areas.
WiFi Ads & Revenue
Turn the mandatory captive portal into a prime advertising slot. Multimedia ads promote your restaurant, spa, and events before, during, and after login. After authentication, redirect guests to your website, booking page, or any URL.
Built for Hotels, Not Retrofitted
Every feature is purpose-built for hospitality operations — from PMS-integrated guest login to employee access control and loyalty program rewards.
PMS Integration
Automatic guest authentication via surname and room number. Direct room billing for premium plans. Works with any PMS or POS system.
Access Control System
Multiple authentication methods: PMS login, one-click access, QR codes, vouchers, social media login, whitelist & blacklist. Choose what fits each guest segment.
Employee Onboarding
Control staff access to the guest network on a device-by-device basis. Grant, modify, or revoke rights instantly. Protect guest bandwidth from unauthorised use with full audit trail.
Loyalty & Direct Booking Rewards
Members automatically receive faster speeds based on their tier. Reward guests who book directly with premium internet. Encourage non-members to join — the Wi-Fi becomes a loyalty driver.
Branded Captive Portal
Tailor-made multilingual portal pages, separately optimised for tablets, smartphones, and laptops. Brand-consistent design with your logo, colours, and messaging. Post-login redirect to any URL.
Real-Time Dashboards
Visualise the invisible. Live bandwidth consumption, connected devices, service KPIs, and Wi-Fi signal levels per room. Adjust ISP costs based on actual usage data — not guesswork.
Wi-Fi Signal Monitoring
Continuous signal level monitoring in every room. A clear overview of guest network status helps optimise coverage, identify dead zones, and provide targeted technical support.
24/7 Monitoring & Maintenance
Every device in your network is connected to our monitoring system. Engineers are alerted immediately about failures and resolve issues proactively — often before the hotel even notices. Software updates and hardware maintenance included.
Post & Prepaid Billing
Automatic room account charges, credit card payments, or cash. Offer free basic Wi-Fi with paid premium upgrades — business travellers and streamers pay willingly for speed.
How Nettify Connect Compares
Most hotel Wi-Fi providers sell software. Nettify Connect is a full managed service — and the only Wi-Fi MSP that's part of a unified hospitality platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between hotel Wi-Fi software and a managed Wi-Fi service?
Hotel Wi-Fi software gives you a captive portal and some bandwidth controls — but you're responsible for configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting the network yourself. A managed Wi-Fi service like Nettify Connect includes the platform plus full MSP-level ownership: we configure the network, own the gateway, monitor every access point 24/7, handle firmware updates, and resolve issues proactively — often before the hotel even notices. The difference is the difference between buying a tool and hiring a team.
What networking hardware does Nettify Connect work with?
Nettify Connect is fully hardware-agnostic. It integrates with Ruckus, Ubiquiti UniFi, TP-Link Omada, Aruba, Ruijie, and other enterprise and mid-range networking equipment. Hotels do not need to replace their existing infrastructure. During onboarding, Nettify designs the optimal network topology and selects equipment matched to the property's size, layout, and budget.
How does dual-ISP failover work?
Nettify Connect integrates two separate ISP links into a single redundant pipe managed at the gateway level. If one provider fails, the system pivots instantly and automatically to the backup link. Guests never lose their connection. The failover is monitored 24/7 — our team is alerted the moment a link drops, even if the backup takes over seamlessly.
Can hotel Wi-Fi generate revenue?
Yes. Nettify Connect includes WiFi Ads — multimedia advertisements displayed during the captive portal login process. Hotels can promote their restaurant, spa, excursions, and events at the moment every guest connects. After authentication, guests can be redirected to the hotel's website, a booking page, or any URL. The same promotions can be synchronised with in-room TVs and digital signage for omnichannel messaging consistency.
Which PMS systems are supported?
Nettify Connect integrates with Oracle Opera, Protel, VHP, GuestPro, Realta, and can interface with virtually any Property Management System or Point of Sale system. PMS integration enables automatic guest authentication, loyalty-tier-based speed allocation, and direct room billing for premium internet plans.
How does employee Wi-Fi management work?
Nettify Connect includes an employee onboarding system that controls staff access to the guest network on a device-by-device basis. Hotels can grant, modify, or revoke access rights instantly, protecting guest bandwidth from unauthorised use. A complete audit trail of employee access records is maintained.
Is Nettify Connect the same as the Nettify unified platform?
Nettify Connect is the network foundation of the Nettify unified platform. It manages Wi-Fi access and bandwidth. The other products — IPTVcast (hotel IPTV with casting), Cast (standalone casting), Sign (digital signage), and Present (wireless presentations) — run on top of the network that Connect manages. All products share a single CMS and are supported by one 24/7 team. Hotels can start with Connect alone and add other services as needed.
