Captive Portal
The Captive Portal feature is available only on the wireless router models, and provides clients with a controlled
and authenticated access to network resources, without compromising security. In other words, a client
connecting to the WLAN interfaces is limited to a “walled garden” until authorized. The captive portal displays
a special web page to authenticate clients before they can use the Internet. The client can resolve DNS and
web browser websites specifically added to such a “walled garden.” Authentication uses a captive portal that
initiates authentication. When an unauthenticated client tries to connect to a web page (on port 80), the request
is intercepted by a daemon and redirected to the captive portal (UI port).
You can configure Captive Portal for each virtual wireless network on your device by associating it with a
portal profile. You can also view the Captive Portal status by choosing Status and Statistics > Captive Portal
Status. See Basic Settings, on page 63 for instructions on how to enable a Captive Portal profile.
To create Captive Portal Profile:
Step 1 Click Wireless > Captive Portal.
Step 2 On the Captive Portal page, click Add under Portal Profile Table. To modify an existing Portal Profile, check the
corresponding check box and click Edit.
Step 3 On the Add Captive Portal Profile page, configure the following:
Enter a profile name for the new Captive Portal.Profile Name
Choose if you want to enable (Auth) or disable (No Auth) authentication.Authentication
Select Original URL, or A new URL and enter the URL in the text field, to redirect
users to a URL after authentication.

Set the lifetime of the authentication in seconds, ranging from 0 to 1440. 0 indicates
