Hi,
i have
internet ↔ RB1 ↔ RB2, so when i’m going for some reason to repair RB1(for example change cable,card…),clients on RB2 are not connected for this time on internet, but clients are connected to RB2.Many clients call me why internet is down.
So i want inform clients “SORRY WE REPAIR DEVICES” on default page on RB2.I configure it before i turn the RB1 off.

Sorry for my ENGLISH.

I think you might be able to do this with the hotpot feature. Edit the login page to tell your customers Service is down for maintainence, and turn hotspot on when needed.


If anyone has any better Ideas please chime in, I am in no way an expert.

Hotspot was my first idea,but i spent too many times without success.
Some example would be helpfull.

Why this request is not build in MT RB yet?

I think the reason a web server has not been incorporated is; these are routers, not servers.

But I have found a way to trick it into being a small webserver, but requires the hotspot active AND it is only available on the hotspot interface. See this post:
