How to use a remote PHP page for my hotspot login.

Hi all!

This is my first post here, so If I’ve done anything wrong please let me know :wink:

Here is what I’m trying to get working. I want to use a remote PHP page for my hotspot login page. We are managing a number of hotspots for the hospitality sector and I’m looking for a way to make it easier for me to update and manage all of the hotspot login pages at once. I’m afraid I can’t really give specifics on what routerOS or RouterBoard I’m running since it varies across our networks but the testing RB I’m working on now is a 411 with ROS 4.16.
I’ve read quite a few examples and wiki posts on how to do this sort of a setup but it doesn’t seem to be working for me. I’m behind a 2Wire Modem/Gateway and I’m thinking that might be part of the problem. I don’t know if it’s my Walled IP settings or what I’m doing wrong. I was just testing with HTTP-PAP and if I just type in 192.168.88.1/login?username=user&password=user then I will be logged into the hotspot. If I try doing the request remotely from my PHP server, or even from my computer the the RouterBoards external ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/login/?username=user&password=user then I’m just looped back to the login page again. If anyone has any suggestions for me I would really appreciate it. I’m quite new to these RouterBoard having just started doing work for a new company and I’m a little over my head right now!

Please let me know if any other information would be helpful for me to provide as well.

Thanks in advance for your time!!

This wiki explains most of it.

Don’t I feel silly now… I’ve been bashing my head against the wall for several days now. In fact I remember trying to use that exact wiki earlier, and it didn’t work. I did some tweaking with my 2Wire Gateway and now everything is working.
Thanks so much for your help!!
