Piso WiFi Pause Time - How to Pause and Resume Your Session

Piso WiFi Pause Time lets you freeze your active session and pick it up later without losing the time or credits you already paid for. You pause, disconnect, come back - your balance is still there.

To pause your session, open your browser while connected to the Piso WiFi network and go to `http://10.0.0.0.1` or `http://10.0.0.1`. Look for a Pause or Pause Time button on the portal page. You do not need to log in as admin.

How Piso WiFi Pause Time Works

When you load credits into a Piso WiFi machine, the timer starts as soon as your session begins. Pause Time interrupts that timer. The machine stores your remaining balance and waits.

Two things control pause behavior:

  • Maximum pause duration - set by the operator in the admin panel. Common limits are 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours.
  • Session validity - how long an inactive session is kept before the machine discards it.
Once your pause limit runs out, your session resumes automatically and the countdown continues.

How to Pause Your Piso WiFi Session (Step by Step)

  1. Stay connected to the Piso WiFi network on your phone or laptop.
  2. Open Chrome, Firefox or Safari.
  3. Type `http://10.0.0.0.1` into the address bar. If nothing loads, try `http://10.0.0.1` instead.
  4. The Piso WiFi portal or admin page opens. Look for a Pause, Pause Time or Suspend Session button.
  5. Tap or click it. Your session is now paused and the timer stops.
  6. To resume, reconnect to the Piso WiFi network and visit the same address. Your session continues from where you left off.
If you see a login screen instead of a pause button, ask the machine operator. Some operators lock the pause function behind the admin password.

Setting Up Pause Time as an Operator

If you own a Piso WiFi machine and want to enable or configure Pause Time for your customers:

  1. Log in to your admin panel at `http://10.0.0.0.1` (or 10.0.0.1) with your admin credentials.
  2. Navigate to Time Settings, Session Settings or Pause Time - the label varies by firmware.
  3. Enable Pause Time and set the maximum pause duration.
  4. Save your changes. Customers can now pause their sessions without contacting you.
A reasonable maximum pause duration is 1 to 2 hours. Setting it too long means customers can effectively hold sessions indefinitely, which reduces your machine's revenue.

When Pause Time Is Not Available

Not every Piso WiFi machine supports Pause Time. Three common reasons:

  • Operator disabled it - accessible only if the operator enables it in settings.
  • Old firmware - some early Piso WiFi firmware versions do not have this feature. The operator needs to update the firmware.
  • Different machine brand - smaller brands may use custom software without a pause function.
If pause is unavailable and you need to disconnect, your only option is to let the session expire naturally or to negotiate with the operator.
