.....Wireless Internet Access Help Please

ELMasry · 09-06-2007, 12:47 AM

using Linksys router WRTG54 how can u setup a welcome web page?

It is a retail where they offer Free Wifi, we need to setup the access in a way that who opens the internet browser it goes directly first to the store's web site. Like hotels.

Thanks

I'll move you to a more appropriate forum: networking.

What you are referring to is called Captive Portal and a WRT54G will not do that with it's factory firmware.

Please look at some of these results from google.

Some of the 3rd party firmware versions may have that capability, but traditionally this is done with a server of some kind.
