Portal (for Access Point/Multi-SSID Mode)
Imagine that you run a small shop and provide Wi-Fi access for your customers. You want
to seize every opportunity to promote your shop, which makes portal authentication an
excellent choice. Customers will be directed to a web page for access verification, on
which your personalized promotion is displayed. Moreover, you can specify a web link
so that the newly connected guest will be redirected to, for example, the official website
of your shop.
1. Visit http://tplinkap.net, and log in with the password you set for the access point.
2. Go to Wireless > Portal.
3. Enable Portal.
Note: The figure below uses the Portal page of the Access Point mode as an example. In the Multi-SSID mode, more
Wi-Fi networks will be available to select.
4. Select the Wi-Fi networks for portal authentication.
5. Select the Authentication Type.
• If you select No Authentication, clients can access the specified Wi-Fi networks
without any authentication.
• If you select Simple Password, you can set a password for clients.
6. Select a time for Authentication Timeout. A client has to reconnect to the network
when its authentication expires.
7. (Optional) Enable Redirect and enter your desired website. Newly connected clients
will be redirected to the specified website.
8. (Optional) Click to edit the Login Page. You can personalize the appearance and
content of the login page for newly connected clients.
