He or his guests doesn't need to type in anything.
Most phones for example support qr codes for ssid & pwd.
There are many sites that can generate the right qr code for him to print out.
For example https://wifiqrcode.com
Hey Pete. I wish I knew you well enough to put you on my Christmas list. That idea was the BOMB! My bad for those who are not hip to that term. It was a great idea.
I also talked him into getting a Unifi Dream Router (UDR). With the UDR you don't need to buy extra gear. It's a 4 in one. It's a router, switch, AP and controller. There's another one called Unifi Dream Machine (UDM). It's a 3 in 1. It's a switch, AP and Controller. Both can create a captive portal / splash screen.
Here's a side by side comparison:

If anyone else has any cool ideas like Pete, please share. I'm open to learning and sharing information.
If anyone is interested, below are setup video of both products.
Unifi:
UDR - Router
UDM - Machine
In the mean time, MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
I got excited and started to re-consider my initial heart attack the other day when I searched up the UDR.. That sheet is old and incorrect. the UDR on Amazon is the same price as the UDM - $400+
I'm already looking to re-engineer my entire network from a ERL and UniFi controller running on Ubuntu ...
