For short-term rental hosts, property managers, and vacation rental operators, collecting guest data is no longer optional—it’s essential for growing your brand and increasing direct bookings. But if you’re already using a mesh WiFi system like Amazon eero, TP-Link Deco, TP-Link Omada, or Aruba, the thought of overhauling your setup just to add a captive portal can feel like a hassle.
That’s why we created StayFi Express—a small but mighty device that transforms your existing WiFi network into a branded captive portal that captures valuable guest emails without changing your network name, password, or reconnecting your smart devices.
What Is StayFi Express?
StayFi Express is a plug-and-play guest network overlay device designed specifically for hosts using Amazon eero, TP-Link Deco, TP-Link Omada, or Aruba. For just $89, you can begin collecting guest emails at every property—automatically and seamlessly.
Unlike traditional access points that require replacing your WiFi setup, StayFi Express connects directly to your current router and broadcasts a branded login page across your network, turning every stay into a direct marketing opportunity.

StayFi Express is perfect if you if:
- Already have Amazon eero, TP-Link Deco, TP-Link Omada, or Aruba.
- Want to start collecting emails & phone numbers from every guest.

FAQS
How does StayFi Express work with my existing WiFi?
StayFi Express seamlessly integrates with your existing Amazon eero, TP-Link Deco, TP-Link Omada, or Aruba system. Simply connect the StayFi Express device to the main router in your network, and it will create a branded guest login portal across your entire property. Your WiFi system will automatically broadcast the guest network, allowing you to capture guest emails without installing additional hardware.
What happens if I don’t have an Amazon eero, TP-Link Deco, TP-Link Omada, or Aruba system?
StayFi Express is currently only compatible with these systems.
If you’re using a different system, click here to see how you can start collecting guest data with our pre-programmed UniFi Access Points which ship pre-configured and ready to plug into any router.
How many StayFi Express do I need if I have multiple properties?
Just one device per property is required, making it easy to scale across your portfolio.
Do I need to change my WiFi name or password?
Nope! Your network and all your devices stay the same.
What happens to existing devices on my current network?
Since your network settings remain unchanged, all your smart devices will stay connected without needing to be reconfigured.
I have multiple systems, can I use a mixture of StayFi Express and UniFi devices?
Yes—use StayFi Express in properties where you have a compatible system (Amazon eero, TP-Link Deco, TP-Link Omada, or Aruba) and UniFi devices in all other properties, all under one StayFi account.
StayFi Express will connect to your existing router and uses your current WiFi system to broadcast a branded guest login page for compatible systems.
For other systems, you will need to order the right UniFi devices to start collecting guest data. See here for a guide on how to get started with UniFi.
I have UniFi devices. Should I use StayFi Express or adopt my devices into StayFi’s controller?
If your UniFi setup includes a UniFi Gateway—such as the UniFi Dream Machine, Dream Router, Next-Gen Gateway, or Cloud Gateway—and the gateway does not have a public IP, StayFi Express may be the best fit.
However, if you’re only using UniFi Access Points without a UniFi Gateway, or your UniFi Gateway does have a public IP, a direct integration with StayFi’s controller is recommended. In that case, please schedule an adoption call to bring your devices into our system.
