Hi @Retired_Member,

 

The WC7520 does not support Facebook Authentication via its Captive Portal.  

 

I recommend you either the WC7600v2 or WC9500 wireless controller.  There is an option to indicate a Redirect URL when setting up a Captive Portal wherein after a successful captive authentication, the guest/s will be redirected to a specific URL you have indicated such as a Facebook business page or company website.  

 

Kindly read pages 232-243 of the WC7600v2 / WC9500 user manual here about setting up a Captive Portal.

 

 

Regards,

Sadly the 7600/9500 are outside the budget for the small business that want it. Will search for another solution
