Configure the hotspot with click-through authentication
Click-through authentication requires each user to accept terms and conditions prior to accessing the
internet via the hotspot. It does not require any further authentication.
By default, the router redirects unauthenticated users to the HTML authentication page located on
the router at /hotspot/terms.html. You can customize the authentication page as needed, or host an
authentication page on a remote server. See Customize the hotspot login page for further
information.
Required configuration items
n Enable the hotspot with click-through authentication.
n LAN to serve as the hotspot LAN. See Hotspot LANconfiguration for important information
about selecting a LANfor the hotspot.
n IP Address and subnet mask for the hotspot.
n Interfaces for the hotspot LAN(Wifi and/or Ethernet).
Additional configuration items
n DHCP server lease timeout.
n Bandwidth limits.
n Modify the local HTML authentication page, /hotspot/terms.html, or identify a remote web
server to host the HTML authentication page and include that server in the "white list" of
servers that unauthenticated hotspot clients can access.
Hotspot LANconfiguration
Once you have selected a LANfor a hotspot, you have limited configuration capabilities for that LAN.
Most of its configuration (for example, its IP address and DHCP server) is set automatically by the
hotspot, and the LANis dedicated for use only by the hotspot. For this reason, you should select a
LANfor the hotspot that has not already been configured for use outside of hotspot functionality.
WARNING! Once you configure a LANfor use as the hotspot LAN, you can no longer access
the device's web interface or SSHserver via that LAN. Do not enable hotspot for the LAN
that you are using to access the device for other purposes. See Selecting a LAN to be used
by the hotspot for more information.
