How to use facebook wifi with plusnet?

[#1]

I have a pub business, I got unlimited wifi with plusnet so that I could take card payments, and for customers, I don't need a business account because the pub is only open from 6 to 11 pm at night, a business account seemed a little excessive. 

Facebook have bought out a natty little thing Facebook Wifi, which means that before any of my customers can use my free wifi, they have to 'check in' on facebook, which is a fabulous idea and is brilliant for my business.  However, I can't find any information on what model of router I have (its a Hub one), or how to set it up, they seem to have every router listed but this.  I previously went on a chat window with plusnet and was told that it should be possible to set up.  Has anyone done this, and if so, how?  If not, are there any workarounds I could try?

The PlusNet Hub one router is a rebadged BT Home Hub 5. From what I can see, Facebook Wifi is only supported on a small set of routers at present , see here :- https://www.facebook.com/help/109150235937957?helpref=faq_content

Here is a list of routers that are compatible with Plusnet according to the kitz forum (well worth a read)

I have heard that a lot of users have had some good results with the ASUS AC68U routers.

The Hub One is a rebadged BT Home Hub 5 type A.

fyi, googling reveals the following information about Facebook wifi.

Looking at the short list of supported compatible products, the BT Home Hub 5 is not in the list.

The Asus DSL-AC68U is the only pro-consumer router in the above list with a built-in VDSL modem.  It would replace the Hub One.

Facebook wifi enabled firmware from Asus, would then have to be downloaded and installed to the router.

Firmware is here, v3.0.0.4.380_3038

@jaread83 I believe the OP needs a Facebook wifi compatible router, as @MisterW points out in his list, there are not too many that have that functionality at the moment.

Thanks all, looks like it won't be happening then, strange when a plusnet support person told me it was possible!

[#7]

It is possible, but requires some tinkering and investing in a router that is able to support this specialised hardware.

It doesn't look a bad way of providing guest WiFi and for £125 as a one off payment for the Asus DSL-AC68U seems reasonable value.
