Welcome to the WAVER OS Manual
This guide is designed to help you get the most out of your WAVER Hotspot Gateway.
Whether you’re setting up your first device or managing a large-scale network, you’ll find everything you need, from initial installation and configuration to advanced features and best practices. Powered by WAVER OS, the platform equips you with the tools required to create reliable and fully customizable Guest WiFi environments.
⚠️ Important Notice
WAVER devices are local network appliances intended for use by trained operators.
All authentication methods, data collection features, analytics, and integrations described in this manual are optional, operator-configured, and disabled by default unless explicitly enabled.
Operators are responsible for:
-
Selecting and configuring authentication methods
-
Defining data retention and deletion policies
-
Providing transparent guest-facing Terms and Privacy notices
-
Ensuring compliance with applicable data protection, privacy, and telecommunications laws
Wavertech does not access, control, or process guest data as part of normal device operation. Any cloud-based features are optional, operator-enabled, and limited to the functionality explicitly configured by the operator. Security behavior, limitations, and supported configurations are defined by the device architecture and operator configuration.
