Before I buy : NetGear Insight licenses cost for Captive Portal

Hi all,

 

I'm looking for a clear information and costing understanding before I buy a complete solution for guest wifi in our small guest house.

 

I'd like to buy a Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mini set or Orbi Pro WiFi 6 SXK80 AX6000

1 router + 3 or 4 satellites, the whole thing with wifi 6 and mesh based install. (dual or tri band, we'll see...)

 

The final goal is to have a captive portal for our guests with Facebook Wifi / Instagram Wifi social login connection with voucher.

 

I understand I need a Netgear Insight Cloud Portal access and buy licenses to manage captive portal options and other features online.

 

Can anyone confirm if I understand well that the cost structure for 1 site network with 1 routeur and 3 satellites : is going to be 4 APs (195+75€ /year) as shown here :

https://billing.netgear.com/captiveportal?category_id=14&app_id=Insight&continue=https:%2F%2Finsight.netgear.com%2F%23%2FinsightServices&user_type=4

 

Or is it going to be 1 pack of devices credits (52€ / year for upto 5 devices) as shown in the Insight Premium subscription here :

https://billing.netgear.com/captiveportal?category_id=17&app_id=Insight&continue=https:%2F%2Finsight.netgear.com%2F%23%2FinsightServices&user_type=4

 

Or is it going to be even different with a 9.99$ / device per year subscription plan as shown here :

https://www.netgear.com/business/services/insight/subscription/?_ga=2.165211071.1267260229.1652874638-1840918767.1652874638

 

 

Not sure what the price is made of.

Not sure what an AP or Device is (each router ? each plugged piece of hardware, including satellites ?)

 

If anyone can explain before I buy anything

 

Thanks

    Each Orbi system (one router including the n satelites) does require just one license in my understanding.

    Alexxxxx,

     

    Welcome to the community! 🙂

     

    If you decide to purchase the SXK80 (either the 2-pack, 3-pack or 4-pack system as per indicated here), be informed that it will include a 5-year NETGEAR Insight Premium Subscription.  Then, through the NETGEAR Insight Premium Subscription you already have from the SXK80 you've bought, from there you can purchase the Insight Instant Captive Portal Subscription.  Kindly check the article below:

     

    How do I purchase an Insight Instant Captive Portal subscription?
