Linksys Wrt54G – No Splash Screen / Only Direct Connection :( Help Me To Set The Right Config Please

[Anonymous]

 

You mentioned that you tried with a laptop but you didn’t get a splash screen. Could you please give more details? Did you get any error message? If you are getting free internet connection, then again the network settings are incorrect.The screenshot you upload is unreadable. Its too small. Please upload a normal screenshot so we can have a look at your network settings.

 

I’m sorry for the littlest image:

here there is the thumbnails of bigger one…

the laptop connected through wifi doesn’t expose the splash screen, and go directly to the internet page selected

The screenshot is still unreadable, please sent it as an attachment to a ticket. We need to check your network settings to understand why you are getting free internet connection.

the upload of the forum doesn’t work for me …and I don’t understand why

Thank you for the screenshot. If you haven’t performed any changes on the router settings of the openwrt router and just executed the script then you should be getting the hotspot splash page.

Please note that the router you are using is around 10 years old (wrt54g). From the very beginning we always recommended the newer Linksys WRT54GL and not the WRT54G.

In your youtube video you performed the process perfectly. You didn’t miss any step. Just it didn’t work for your type of router.

What we suspect is that the versions of the dd-wrt firmware and openwrt you are using are brand new and will not work on your router.

We recommend you use a very old version of dd-wrt firmware that is capable of bringing up the hotspot splash page. The build number we recommend for your router is 14311. This version of dd-wrt was around when your router was sold in the market and our company is also integrated in that build.

In order to remove the openwrt firmware you need to reset your router while its being powered on. Unplug the power cable and while the router is being powered on hold the reset button which is found at the back of the router until the front lights of the router are flashing. During the first minute of the reset you need to tftp to the router and upload the linksys factory firmware. When that is completed you need to upload the dd-wrt firmware.

You can use a programme like Pumpkin to tftp to the router. Please make sure you first upload the Linksys factory firmware.

If you need further help with the steps please let us know in order to support you.

thanks you for your support…have you any direct link for the dd-wrt firmware suggested?

[Dimitrios]

Thank you for your reply. For LinkSys Wrt54G ver.2.0 the direct link to the dd-wrt firmware you should use is: http://dd-wrt.com/routerdb/de/download/Linksys/WRT54G/v2.0/dd-wrt.v24_std_generic.bin/3399 Would you be so kind to remove the video you created on youtube? You performed the steps perfectly but it is very unfortunate that it didn’t work for your type of router. It may confuse our future operators as they will think that it is not working. In any case, if you need any further help please inform us so we can assist you.

Dimitrios I’ve removed the video on youtube…

I’ve tried your new solution…but no way… I cannot solve my problems…

Now, I’ve to find a solution:

I’ve a main router (with dhcp server) on the address 192.168.1.1 (I cannot change this address)

there is a router or an access point that I can buy which will fork for sure?

what is the cheaper one?

thanks you a lot!

[Dimitrios]

Thank you for your reply. The LinkSys Wrt54G is a very old router, and our system doesn’t work on all the versions of this series of routers. Probably, this is the case. You can still use this router if you connect it to a router that is compatible to our system.

We recommend the Linksys WRT54GL that is still available in the market. We have tested this router and you will not experience such issues.

If you want to use newer technology (wireless n) we suggest you have a look at the Ubiquiti airrouter (http://www.ubnt.com/airrouter). This is also a router that we have tested and works well with our system.

All the above routers are standard routers and can handle between 20-30 simultaneous accesses. If you want to handle much higher loads you should look into Mikrotik routers. The load a Mikrotik router can handle depends on the amount of memory it has.

If you have any further questions, please let us know.

thanks a lot for your suggestion…

I’ve choosed for the:

Ubiquiti AirRouter Wireless-N Router – Model Number: WRUBIAR (WRUBIAR)

I’ll use only with function of Access Point where the main router will be set to 192.168.1.1, the UBIQUITI can you assure that work?

http://www.ebay.it/itm/Ubiquiti-AirRouter-Wireless-N-Router-WRUBIAR-WRUBIAR-/281241630083?pt=ADSL_Router_cablati_Cavi&hash=item417b4eb583&_uhb=1

[Dimitrios]

The Ubiquiti AirRouter Wireless-N Router will work with our system. You can change the IP address of the router when you log in to it so it doesn’t match the IP address on the WAN side e.g you can set IP address 192.128.20.1 for the router

In case the firmware of the Ubiquiti AirRouter is 5.5 you will need to download the custom Ubiquiti firmware from our website and upload it to the router. You need to follow this guide: http://www.hotspotsystem.com/installation-guide-ubiquiti-airmax

In case the firmware of the Ubiquiti AirRouter is 5.6 you need to install openwrt firmware with the script method you performed before. We will inform you of the steps and of the necessary file you need to upload to the router once you have it. You will be supported.

Both solutions will work fine.

some news (but no good news…)

I’ve downgraded the 5.5.6 Air Os to the 5.3.6

http://www.ubnt.com/eula/?BACK=/downloads/XN-fw-internal/v5.3.6/XM.v5.3.6.14295.120904.1243.bin

this firmware is compatible with all revision of hw…

but after this, I cannot upgrade to your customized hotspotystemOS…

Can hotspotsystem use these standart sdk to modify his hotspostysteOS?????

I’ve tried also to use DD WRT, but seems there are no positive answer from hotspotsystem locations

If someone has any suggestion and can help me will be apreciated…
