Students sign in with their admission number and a PIN, and staff with theirs. Phones are slowed in lectures, consoles stay off, betting sites are closed, and the Wi-Fi goes quiet at lights out, without anyone touching a router.
Most schools live with at least one of these. Flip the switch to see each one fixed.
You're looking at today. Try the switch.
Students pass it to friends, and the neighbours have it too. You can't tell who's on, or switch one person off.
With their number and a 6-digit PIN. PINs go by SMS or email, or on printed slips for students without a phone of their own, and always for secondary pupils. A lost phone can be stopped from the helpdesk.
Everyone shares one line, so a room of games consoles in the hostel can stop the slides loading in a lecture hall.
Set Lectures once: Mon–Fri 08:00–17:00, phones at 2 Mbps, games consoles not allowed. Change it, and devices already online follow within a minute.
Nothing switches off at night, so the Wi-Fi is busiest when everyone should be asleep. The 8:00 lecture pays for it.
Sunday to Thursday nights, no internet for the groups you choose. A device that tries is told on the sign-in page when it can come back.
A filter on one router, or none at all. Nobody is sure what's closed and what isn't.
Betting sites from a list we keep up to date, adult sites and scams through a family-safe filter, and your own list. We say plainly what it can't stop: a VPN can get around it.
Someone types the new intake in, one at a time. Meanwhile the queue outside says the same thing all day: "I can't get on."
Save the registrar's list from Excel as CSV, in any column order, and upload it. A preview shows what will happen before anyone is added. New term moves a whole group to its next end date in one go. When someone can't get on, the helpdesk sees the reason and sends a new PIN.
The helpdesk gets its own sign-in: find a person, see their devices, send a new PIN, print a slip, stop a lost phone. Groups, rules and imports stay with the ICT office.
A university in Limuru with about three thousand students and staff. Nobody in the ICT office touches a router.

Every edition shares one network platform. Here's what each part does for a school.
It works even without a public IP. You get an email if a router goes quiet, and you can swap one without students noticing.
Every student and staff member signs in as themselves. Parents' day or the exam board get a visitor code of their own.
Phones, laptops, tablets and consoles each get their own speed and daily data. Lectures and lights out change them on time.
Two-step sign-in keeps your ICT team's accounts safe. Students' records are covered when you export or remove your data.
Undergraduates and Staff, or Form 1–4 and Teachers. Each group ends on its own date. PINs go by SMS, email or printed slips.
Today shows devices turned away for being over their limit. Term reports show who signed in, devices by kind and data by group, as CSV.
You keep your router and access points. We set up the rest with you on a call.
We look at your campus, your groups and your router together.
Save it from Excel as CSV. The preview shows who will be added before anything is made.
Groups and their limits, study hours, lights out and blocked sites.
Paste one line into your MikroTik, then print the PIN slips or send PINs by SMS.
Print their PINs as slips: a PDF of cut-out slips, each with the pupil's number, name, PIN and how to sign in. For a secondary school, pupils always get slips, and we keep only their number, name and class. No phone numbers, no email, no birth dates.
Each group works until its own end date, then stops. When the next term starts, New term moves everyone in a group to the next end date in one go. Someone who has left is stopped, and signed out everywhere at once.
Make a visitor code for the day, such as "Parents' day" or "Exam board". Visitors type it on the same Wi-Fi page, and it ends when you choose.
Each school's data is walled off from every other school's. Your ICT team's accounts can use two-step sign-in. You can export all your data any time, and if you leave, your students' records are removed with the rest.
30 minutes on a call or video. We'll set up a demo with your groups and show you a PIN slip, study hours and the helpdesk screen.
