# WiFi Portal distribution

You can share you **WiFi Portal URL** to residents in different ways, such as email or QR codes.

An effective way to make the portal self-discoverable with minimum effort is to publish the portal on a dedicated onboarding WiFi network. For example, you can name it "Resident WiFi onboarding".

When connecting to the network, users are redirected to the authentication page.

Once provided their email, the land on the confirmation screen as usual. With some WiFi vendors, the user is also authenticated on that WiFi network with an allowance of 5 minutes, in order to provide the connectivity while checking the email.

Make sure to add in the walled gardens the domain: \*.cusna.io

#### Special utility for Meraki
