We found that the draytek 2860n plus does what we need. They call the feature URL Redirect.
I’m still trying to do it with my Asus RT-N10U and DD-WRT but it’s been difficult to find a stable version that supports my USB 3G modem. The last build available, dd-wrt.v24-23503_NEWD-2_K2.6_big.bin, seems stable but in the other hand it doesn’t leave enough free space on the flash for the JFFS2 stuff… Regards, Antonio Soares, CCIE #18473 (RS/SP) <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <http://www.ccie18473.net/> http://www.ccie18473.net From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: quarta-feira, 12 de Fevereiro de 2014 02:20 To: Antonio Soares Cc: Andre Aubet; [email protected] Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_Wireless] OT: WiFi 3G Router with Walled Garden So do the Meraki APs.

I was able to purchase one Asus RT-N10U on a local store, it has 32/8 of RAM and Flash. It seems there a dd-wrt build with jffs2, nocat and usb support. I will test it and I will give you feedback about it.

But I used dd-wrt for many years before I could afford to buy some Cisco routers and Aps ;) I was using the Asus RT-N16 which comes with 32Mb of flash, and totally supports USB drive. I was using JFFS and it worked great. I think the 3G connections were supported with dd-wrt on this router. You can also look at alternative releases like Tomato mods or openwrt. You can find lots of modules to install with openwrt but you will certainly have to dig into the Linux CLI. You need to already be comfortable with this, as the ...wrt features can require advanced configuration. Years ago I also worked with a Cisco router to add a 3G connection. It automatically connected to the VPN connection of my company over the 3G to give access to internal resources as a backup to the usual xDSL link. But I don't think the captive portal was supported, unless using an external solution. Keep us informed of the solution you will find, I'm interested ;) — Sent from Mailbox <https://www.dropbox.com/mailbox> for iPhone On Sun, Feb 9, 2014 at 12:25 AM, Antonio Soares <[email protected]> wrote: Hello group, This is OT but since there are many Wireless experts here, maybe someone can help me. I’m looking for a WiFi and 3G router with Walled Garden/Captive Portal/Welcome URL feature. The idea is very simple, the clients connect to the WiFi Router and when they open the browser, they are re-directed to a Welcome page, a pre-defined page on the Internet. I don’t need the advanced features like authentication, accepting Terms and Services and things like that. It seems very simple but I can’t find any router to do this. The best I was able to find was the dd-wrt software that has a feature called nocatsplash. The problem here is that the 3G/WiFi routers supported are essentially a few TP-Link models but all only have 4 Mb of flash. Then the nocatsplash requires the configuration of a Landing Page. This Landing Page can be hosted on the router itself using the local file system (JFFS) but this is only possible if the router has more than 4 Mb of flash or if it supports an external storage device. If someone knows a router to do this of some firmware other that dd-wrt that could be run on the TP-Link TL-MR3xxx routers, please let me know ! Thanks.
