# Checking in using Wi-Fi

Allowing customers to check in using your wifi network.

If you want your customers to [check in](/platform/day-to-day/operations/check-in.md) using Wi-Fi, you must first enable this feature in your space's settings and then set up access tokens to provide internet access. You can also use [passes](/platform/day-to-day/inventory/passes.md), which you can sell to a customer directly or through a [plan](/platform/day-to-day/inventory/managing-plans/about-plans.md).

To use Wi-Fi check in, you must install a router that supports MikroTik (MT) or RADIUS devices.‌

After a customer adds their device, Nexudus Spaces recognises the device every time the customer accesses the network. The customer must also have a valid pass or access token. When the customer becomes inactive for 15 minutes, they are automatically checked out.‌

## About Access Tokens <a href="#about-access-tokens" id="about-access-tokens"></a>

With **Access Tokens**, \_\*\*\_you can give a customer a block of minutes that they can use to connect to the internet. Access Tokens are directly linked to Check-In via Wi-Fi, so that when someone is connected via the captive portal, they can use the token to access the internet. Access tokens simply provide internet access for a certain time period.‌
