Getting started
What happens after you sign up
Make your pages while the box is prepared, then plug it in when it arrives.
You can start on your pages straight away. The box follows, and plugging it in takes a few minutes.
You create your account, choose your plan and pay by card. Your dashboard is available as soon as you have.
You pick your web address. This one is permanent, because it ends up printed on material for your tables or your counter.
You make your Wi-Fi sign-in page and your welcome page, with a live preview beside each.
We prepare the box for your venue and post it. It is assigned to you before it leaves, so there is no code to type.
When it arrives, put it where your customers are, connect one cable to a spare socket on your router and plug in the power lead. Please do not reset it.
Switch off your venue’s existing guest Wi-Fi in your router, if it has one, so guests join the Margovy network instead. See "Switching off your old guest Wi-Fi".
The box checks in by itself. Settings, then Wi-Fi and box, shows when it is reporting. A report means the box has reached Margovy, not that guests can browse, so join the Wi-Fi on your own phone and check your page appears.
Order your QR stands from the sidebar whenever you are ready. They are sold separately from the plan.
Your staff and business Wi-Fi, your tills and the rest of your router settings stay exactly as they are. The only change to your router is switching off the old guest Wi-Fi, once. You do that, or whoever installs the box for you does, and we can talk you through it. Margovy never logs into your router or changes it remotely.
If you already have Wi-Fi extenders around the building, leave them where they are. Support can advise on coverage, and nothing of yours needs to be moved or rewired.
If this did not solve it
Send us a message. Tell us the venue name and what you were doing when it went wrong, and a person will reply.
