> Customers simply check in to your location on Facebook to connect to free Wi-Fi

wow. not only do they get you to sign up for an account, they also get more insight into your movements/migrations by forcing you to use a feature that (for now) you can disable.

nobody says you have to use the service but we'll see how many more sell out for it.

How do I edit the Wi-Fi code my customers use to skip check-in?

To edit your Wi-Fi code:

Go to your Page and click Edit Page at the top of your admin panel.

Select Edit Settings from the dropdown menu.

Click on the More... tab and select Facebook Wi-Fi.

Select Require Wi-Fi code and edit your Wi-Fi code in the box.

You can also choose not to require a code by selecting Skip check-in link.

Click Save Settings.

If you don't like it, don't buy a Facebook WiFi router.

For our business use case, this is perfect.

... or don't go to a business that has purchased a Facebook WiFi router.

Imagine hotels using this for their "free in room internet". I would seek lodging elsewhere.

There's no business case where telling a portion of customers or would be customers to go fuck themselves and kicking them out.

Having a facebook only "free" internet is doing just that.
