Hi Stephen,
If guests are coming from other Eduroam schools they can of course use our
Eduroam and then log in with their schools credentials to connect. If they
are a visitor to our school then they will need to register to get wifi
access and that access only lasts for 24 hours, so if they need it again
they will have to repeat the steps all over again.
Thanks,
