Abstract:
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing network access configurations, and, more particularly, for implementing restricted Wi-Fi access configuration between public and private service set identifiers (“SSIDs”). In some embodiments, a user might request public network access using a user device. A network device, which is in communication with the user device might receive the request for public network access from the user device. The network device might determine whether the user device is associated with a first identifier that is associated with a user having network private access to the network through the network device. If not, the network device might provide the user device with network public access to the network(s), via a network public access path. If so, the network device might prevent the user device from having network public access to the network(s).
