Personal Device Authentication Ideas

I'm tasked with developing an after hours network for our company. It is for personal devices, and is to be segmented from our CorpLan. That part is fine. However I am re-evaluating the wireless authentication aspect of it. Ideally I think we'd like to limit it to devices owned by employees. As it sits, it's just a PSK, so anyone could jump on the after hours network if they have the PSK.

I was looking at Meraki authentication. Is it a 1 device per login?

I do like the idea of having some visibility of who is doing what with their devices on the personal network.

Any other ideas?

You can authenticate with Splash Page and use your own user base within the Meraki dashboard or an external base, or also 802.1x authentication.

Meraki Trusted Access is perfect for this use case.

You can also specify how many devices each use is allowed.

No. Any number of devices can be attached.
