KiwireDocumentation

Guest Wi-Fi, captive portals and RADIUS — how to run the platform, what every setting means, and how to build on it.

Guides

Task by task — bring a controller in, map its zones, design the portal and its journey, choose login methods, set profiles and quotas. Plus every page in the admin menu and what has to be true before it shows you anything.

Reference

What every screen and number means. The report glossary, portal error codes, zone and profile settings, RADIUS attributes, and the permissions each licence module unlocks.

Integrate

The public API, connectors, PMS and hotel systems, and the AI surface — MCP and bringing your own key.

Hardware

Connecting each controller vendor to Kiwire — walled garden, redirect URL, RADIUS pairing — and the checks worth doing before you leave site.

Start here

New to Kiwire, or handed a tenant someone else set up, read these in order:

Signing in — including why your menu is not the same as your colleague's. Then the dashboard you land on.
How Kiwire fits together — the six steps between a guest joining the SSID and getting online, and which part of the platform owns each.
The menu, page by page — every item in the admin menu, what it is for, and what has to be true before it shows you anything.

Depending on what you are here to do

Some pages are read out of the platform's own code — the menu tour from the admin menu, the permissions from the licence module map, and the supported controllers from the vendor list the controller form offers. They cannot fall behind the code, because they are read out of it.

These docs are served by the Kiwire instance you are reading them from, so they describe the version this instance is running.
