At the beginning it was a disclaimer page that the hotel operator wanted to have at the suggestion of his lawyer. Basically it would say "It's free but everyone else is also on it and don't come crying to me if your computer or finances get all jacked up".
The "Patel" wanted to try to make a buck and sell ad's on the splash page. But it's gone now. Thankfully.

Is it just advertising for the hotel? If so, why not just creat a page that "looks" like their page. It doesn't have to have all the functionality of the real page, just a "brochure page" or something to say thanks for staying with us. Then you could add a button that "logs them in" (really just adds them as a generic user to the hotspot) so they can continue on to their regular home page. Just an idea.

The final straw was some IBM people were having a meeting at the hotel and were trying to use the wireless access for every big shot wireless device one could think of. Some would go but the ones that had to work in secure mode wouldn't allow the redirect. Bogus. Turned it off and the calls went away. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nick Olsen Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2011 1:46 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] Hotel Redirect We are looking for a way to redirect hotel guests to the hotels home page on the first page load. We are looking for something that does this in mikrotik because thats what we have on location already. The idea is that the user connects up, Hits the internet and is redirected to a page. And then, On the next page load without hitting "login" or something they go to the page they requested. We use hotspot for our own stuff, And have used hotspot on this before using the "trial" function but this time around we don't control the page that the user is brought to. So we couldn't add some form of "login" button to it. I've tried this with dst-nat rules and browser caching always gets in the way. What is everyone else doing?
