Hotspot and Station Mode

Thu Oct 06, 2022 3:38 pm

Hi,
I am trying to use a hAP AC Lite to achieve the following:

Part 1:
wlan 1 > Connect in Station Mode to an existing WiFi
Ether2-5 > Allowed to use wlan1 as a gateway to the internet

Part 2:
wlan2 > Broadcast Open WiFi as a hotspot

Part 1 is all working as expected and there are no issues

Part 2 is driving me mad, I think because I'd like the following to happen:
Join wlan2 Open WiFi > Auto-login > redirect to web server connected to Ether2

At the moment, the hotspot advertises (but says No Internet) and while I can join the hotspot I don't get any re-direction. In addition, if join and then attempt to manually reach the web server on Ether2 it tells me the connection is refused, or basically never loads

ANY help with this would be massively appreciated before I pull all of my hair out

Thanks

Lenny

Post configuration you have so far (execute /export hide-sensitive file=anynameyouwish in terminal window, fetch resulting file and post its contents inside [code] [/code] block).

Just to make sure: the upstream AP doesn't require any special registration of users (apart from knowing WSK)?

I don't understand your hotspot idea

> Join wlan2 Open WiFi > Auto-login > redirect to web server connected to Ether2

isn't hotspot running in the router? what web server is that and why are you redirecting there? how are you doing the redirection ?
