1 you should set the linksys connect via cable WAN port -> lan on the Dlink.
2 linksys dhcp: off (the clients will get the address from the radius part of the hotspotsystem)
3. connect the linksys WAN via a cable to your primary routers LAN port.
4. yes, disable DHCP on your hotspot router. it will pull an address from the hotspot radius system itself.
5. dont bother. i didnt. leave the Services-> Hotspot -> ETHx how it is.
6. this is what should happen. if you set the linksys WAN to go thru your primary router, it should start working (dhcp, splash page, website control panel custom commands). you can change the SSID later
7. leave the time server alone. it needs to be set back to NONE and UTC like it was originally. very important. don't change anything. else you will get a sync error on the login page
Also…….
The router will almost 'autoconfigure' itself. you will notice that some settings will change on thier own. this is normal.
do this:
set your hotspot routers LOCAL ip address should be 192.168.20.1
subnet 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.2 or whatever your primary router is. this routes the hotspot routers local traffic out to the WAN
configure the Operator ID and LocationID in Services- Hotspot
check Logon splash screen option
apply, save and let router reboot.
wait 10 minutes. goto the hotspotsystem.com control panel and check your locations. if you see the router listed, then go grab a laptop and try to logon to the ssid. it should give you a 192.168.182.x DHCP address. now try to visit a web page. it should give you the splash screen.
hope this helps, it took me 2 days to get it to work.
………………….now if only i could get my 2nd WDS router to hand off DHCP addresses to my clients………………
