Turn Your
Hotel WiFi Into
A Revenue
Engine.
LEFCON Aethernet has designed and installed enterprise WiFi networks for hotels for over 25 years. Now we're taking it further — Aethernet Cloud is a hotel captive portal and guest WiFi marketing platform that makes your WiFi work for you.
Aethernet Cloud is a hotel guest WiFi management platform and captive portal solution built specifically for hotels, resorts, and restaurants. Unlike standalone captive portal software, Aethernet Cloud is backed by LEFCON — a managed IT services company that has designed and installed enterprise WiFi networks for 450+ hospitality properties nationwide. You get the software and the support in one place.
Aethernet Hardware + Aethernet Cloud.
Use both for a complete end-to-end hospitality WiFi solution — or add Aethernet Cloud to your existing network today.
Enterprise WiFi network design, hardware procurement, installation, and ongoing support for hotels, resorts, and restaurants. Our engineers have designed and deployed networks for 450+ properties nationwide.
A captive portal and guest WiFi marketing layer that sits on top of your WiFi network — any brand, any hardware — and transforms it into a guest experience and revenue engine.
Your Hotel Guest WiFi Isn't Working For You.
Every guest connects to your WiFi and disappears. No name, no email, no way to reach them again. You're missing thousands of verified marketing contacts every year — contacts that cost you nothing to collect.
You find out about a bad guest experience from a TripAdvisor review — after the damage is done. There is no system alerting you in real time when a guest is unhappy, when it could still be fixed.
Your WiFi is a flat monthly cost with zero return. Other hotels are charging guests for premium tiers and collecting real revenue directly through their PMS — automatically, with no front desk involvement.
Simple For Guests. Powerful For You.
Three steps. Zero friction for your guests. Maximum intelligence for your team.
Guest joins your WiFi and sees your branded splash page. They sign in with Google, Facebook, Apple, or their email — verified automatically. No fake emails. No friction.
A verified guest profile is created the moment they connect. Name, email, device type, visit time, stay length. GDPR compliant. Yours to keep forever. No data ever shared or sold.
Post-stay survey sent automatically. Premium upgrade offered. PMS room charge processed. Manager alerted if score is low. Review solicited if score is high. All automatic. All yours.
Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.
The complete hotel captive portal and guest WiFi management platform — verified data capture, post-stay surveys, premium upsell, and DNS security in one dashboard.
A beautiful, fully customizable captive portal — the WiFi splash and login page guests see when they connect — matched to your property brand. Social login, email verification, campaign banners, and internet tier selection, all in one.
Email verification before WiFi access means every contact in your database is real. Build a marketing list of verified, opted-in guests automatically with every stay.
Automated surveys delivered by email after checkout. NPS scoring, section-by-section ratings, open feedback, and instant low-score alerts to your manager — before a bad review goes public.
Offer Basic free WiFi and paid Premium tiers. Guests upgrade with one tap and the charge goes directly to their room folio via your PMS. A new revenue stream with zero front desk involvement.
Monitor guest network activity at the DNS level. Flag suspicious domains, detect policy violations, and maintain logs for legal compliance — all from the Aethernet Cloud dashboard.
Manage one property or one hundred from a single login. Portfolio-wide visibility, NPS comparison across properties, and low-score alerts from anywhere — perfect for management companies.
Simple. Transparent. Per Property.
Per property per month. No setup fees. No long-term contracts required.
Works With Any Hotel WiFi Hardware.
No hardware replacement. No network rip-and-replace. Aethernet Cloud is a software layer that sits on top of your existing infrastructure.

Key Terms
Captive Portal
A captive portal is the login or splash page guests see when they connect to your hotel's WiFi network. Before gaining internet access, guests must take an action — accepting terms, entering an email, or logging in with social media. Aethernet Cloud's captive portal captures verified guest data and allows branded customization to match your property.
Guest WiFi Management Platform
A guest WiFi management platform is software that controls how guests access, authenticate to, and use your property's WiFi network. Beyond basic connectivity, platforms like Aethernet Cloud add guest data capture, NPS surveys, premium tier upsell, and multi-property reporting.
NPS (Net Promoter Score)
Net Promoter Score is a standard measure of guest satisfaction, calculated from post-stay surveys asking how likely a guest is to recommend your property. Aethernet Cloud automatically sends NPS surveys after checkout and alerts managers when scores fall below your threshold — before a negative review is posted publicly.
PMS Integration
Property Management System (PMS) integration connects your hotel software to Aethernet Cloud, enabling automatic room charge for premium WiFi upgrades. When a guest purchases a faster internet tier, the charge is posted directly to their folio in StayNTouch, Maestro, or your PMS — no front desk involvement required.
DNS Traffic Monitoring
DNS traffic monitoring tracks the domain name requests made by devices on your guest network — not the content of browsing, but the destinations. This allows Aethernet Cloud to flag suspicious activity, detect policy violations, maintain compliance logs, and alert your team to potential security issues without inspecting private content.
Social Login
Social login allows hotel guests to authenticate to your WiFi network using their existing Google, Facebook, or Apple account instead of creating a new account or entering a code. This eliminates fake email addresses, reduces friction at login, and gives you a verified identity for every guest who connects.
