To apply captive portal authentication to a wireless SSID, under 2.4G or 5G, select which
SSIDs captive portal authentication should be applied, then click Save at the bottom of
the page to save the settings.
Note: The SSIDs must be enabled and configured under Wireless > 2.4G or 5G to be
assigned. If using Captive Portal authentication, it is recommended to set the
Authentication method to None in the wireless SSID settings since captive portal
authentication will be used instead. If the Authentication Method is left enabled, the
users will need to authenticate twice, once with the authentication method defined and
also captive portal authentication.
Click on Apply button to apply the settings and then click on the Save button located on
the top right section to save the settings.
