RE: [WISPA] The Mikrotik Advertisement Feature
I said pop-up because that's what the Mikrotik help says it is. Is it actually a redirect then? I would have thought it would block them as I thought that was what the advertise-timeout setting was for.

RE: [WISPA] The Mikrotik Advertisement Feature
Hello Paul, I will see if we can add better documentation for this these features. I think their web browser gets the ad page instead of where they wanted to go -- and then it goes on to where they wanted to go.
