Using Dd-Wrt As A Hotspot Ap Behind A Main Router

  • Anonymous March 16, 2013 at 8:00 pm

    Hi Everyone,

    Took several days trying to configure the system but I can not.

    I have a main router in the office of my restaurant and I have installed a linksys wrt150 v1.1 in the restaurant connected to the main router.

    After much reading, many configurations …. and get the secondary router (hotspot) gives me a correct ip when connecting my wifi client. ç

    This is the configuration that I have but does not show splash screen

    Main Router (Internet).

    IP: 192.168.1.1

    Mask: 255.255.255.0

    DNS 1: 80.58.61.250

    Open ports 1812 UDP and 1813 UDP forward 192.168.1.3

    Second Router (HotSpot):

    WAN Connected type: DISABLE.

    Network Setup:

    IP: 192.168.1.3

    Firmware Version

    When I connect to the virtual WIFI network of the HOTspot, I get the next settings:

    IP: 192.168.182.2

    Mask: 255.255.255.0

    Gateway (Router): 192.168.182.1

    DNS: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.8.8

    Domain: key.chillispot.info

    In the page of HOTSpot…. I get online de location so it seems it works but I do not get the splash screen.

    Please, I'm going crazy with this issue…. and sorry for my English.

    Thanks.

    I just read that my router with dd-wrt does not work with Hotspot FREE SOCIAL.

    Is that right??

    http://www.hotspotsystem.com/hotspot_help/kb/articles/111-can-i-use-my-own-page-hosted-on-an-external-server-instead-of-default-payment-login-pages

    So, I think I have to buy a new router which supports Coova o HotspotWRT to build a hotpost free social.

    I've read that Linksys WRT54 works well but…… It's only 802.11b/g. Any compatible router with 802.11n that supports Coova or HotspotWRT??

    Please, help me.

    Hello,

    Have you tried to link your internet (if it's not a direct connection too) to the WAN interface and keep it as simple as you can? If it runs build 14311, you only have to set your operatorname and location ID under services>hotspot in the hotspot router. You can eventually get results with connecting routers LAN ports, but it's not so fortunate to do so.

    We do not recommend DD-WRT with FREE SOCIAL, this is true. So you should use HotspotWRT/Coova or another brand of routers.
