1) Differences between Facebook Login and Facebook Wi-Fi?
There are two ways to collect end-user's data by cooperating with Facebook. One is Facebook login, and the other way is Facebook Wifi.
Note: Facebook WiFi is a PRO Pack feature, while Facebook login is a normal feature embedded within BASE-Pack.
Facebook login is to single sign-on and signs into Facebook social networking services, without the need to create a new login account and is able to acquire the existing client's information. It is designed for simplifying logins for existing social-media user accounts over authentication.
Facebook Wifi is a service with which businesses could link their local business Facebook page and the Zyxel device together to provide Wi-Fi access to users after interacting with their Facebook accounts. When a user first accesses the Internet, the Zyxel device will redirect the browser to the business partner’s Facebook page. Users are guaranteed Internet access after they checked-in on the specific Facebook page.

4) Using 2FA on iPhone with Facebook Login
With Two-Factor-Authentication (2FA) on the rise, it becomes more and more important to implement these features on our Nebula devices. This tutorial will guide you through setting up 2FA via Facebook using an iPhone.
With Facebook Two-Factor Authentication (TFA), an additional code via the Facebook App is necessary to complete the sign-in process.
However, iPhones will general disconnect from the AP if you attempt to navigate away from the Apple CNA.
This prevents guest clients from accessing their Facebook App to obtain the TFA code.
In order to work around the iPhone's restrictions, please follow the steps below:
- Connect the iPhone to the SSID with Facebook login enabled.
- The iPhone's CNA should appear
- Wait 5 seconds and tap "Cancel"
-
Additional options will appear.
- Select "Use Without Internet".
- Access your Facebook App and obtain the code from the code generator.
- Open Safari or any browser and navigate to a short URL (such as www.cnn.com).
- The AP should redirect browser to the captive portal.
- Tap the Facebook log in button and enter username and password.
- Once Facebook prompts for your code, switch to your Facebook App and check your code generator.
- Switch back to your Facebook in browser and input the code.
