Abstract: Systems and methods include, responsive to a Wi-Fi client device providing a password for a zone of a Wi-Fi network, determining a status of the Wi-Fi client device; when the status is unknown, placing the client device in a holding area associated with the zone, wherein the client device is connected to the Wi-Fi network while in the holding area and has restricted access that is less than full access to the zone in an allowed zone; responsive to placing the client device in the holding area, causing a notification to an administrator that the client device is in the holding area; and with the client device in the holding area, one of moving the Wi-Fi client device to the allowed area, moving the client device to a rejected area for the zone, and leaving the client device in the holding zone, based on any input or lack thereof.

Abstract: Systems and methods of geographically limiting a cellular gateway for a Wi-Fi network include obtaining a location of the cellular gateway; determining whether the cellular gateway is authorized to operate at the location on a given cellular network; and performing an action including any of blocking, allowing, or partially allowing operation of the cellular gateway on the cellular network. The method can be implemented by a cloud service, and wherein the location is determined by one of the cellular gateway and a user device connected to the cellular gateway.

Abstract: Systems and methods of installing a cellular gateway in a Wi-Fi network include obtaining a cellular gateway that is configured to provide cellular connectivity to the Internet for an associated Wi-Fi network; measuring a plurality of locations in a building for the Wi-Fi network; and receiving an indication based on the measuring, on a mobile device, for locating the cellular gateway in the building. The mobile device can execute at least one of a mobile application and a browser session and communicates with the cellular gateway via any of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
