For some organisations, the network onboarding process can cause frustration and confusion, affecting new users trying to connect their devices to a wired or wireless network for the first time. It can be inherently difficult because every environment is setup differently creating a gap in user expectation and user experience.  

Users are accustomed to easy connectivity without having to do much. For example, gaining access to the internet or a Wi-Fi network is simple when it comes to connecting a new phone or to a home network.  

At home, users have full control over their password, are not required to connect to more than one router and expect automatic connection to their network when they return home.  

Due to this, more and more organisations are shifting away from default methods of network onboarding and are adopting solutions to streamline and improve the onboarding process.
