Wifi Repeater without Password and Welcome URL

peterdot · 2018-10-16T13:20:38.860Z

Hi,
I have an GL-AR300M-lite router and want to do the following:

connect the router to a wifi (password enabled)
share the wifi connection using the router wifi access point with others without password protection (Free Wifi)
as soon as somebody connects to the router wifi access point, he/she should be prompted to a specific welcome url in the browser

Is this possible with OpenWRT and the router firmware?

Regarding security issues: yes, normally I won’t do this (access point with no password).In my very specific case it is safe enough and the only way to achive what I need.

I am thankful for your advice!
Best regards

EDIT: it seems that the OpenWRT Package “nodogsplash” does something similar to what I need. Is this possible to run on that router?

Do you mean a captive portal? If it does, you can use wifidog, Nodogsplash or Coovachilli.

Were you able to set the captive portal ?
I used nodogsplash. But it is not working when i connect to the SSID.
Instead if i try 192.168.8.1:2050, i can see the splash screen
Any idea whats missing here… ?

If using portal, you need to turn off the firewall as the portal is the firewall.

Configuring nodogsplash should not be difficult.
