<br>
Shaw's offering is actually a pretty good price, surprisingly.<br>
<br>
He could buy a pfSense/Netgate SG-2440 to replace the (p.o.s., IMHO) RV320 and get captive portal functionality built in.<br>
I would replace all the wireless with Ubiquity.<br>
But obviously the hotel doesn't want to spend any actual money on this, so...<br>
Grab an old PC, put 3 NICs in it, install pfSense Community Edition, and off to the races.<br>

A hotel where I live, is<br /> needing a Guest Splash page to appear whenever someone connects to<br /> the wifi in the hotel. (Every time it is connected – I will explain)<br /> The internet is through Shaw, getting 150 open internet if they don’t<br /> have it already by now. We installed a Cisco RV320 (non WebFi unit)<br /> to split the internet into 2 networks. (<a href="http://192.168.130.1">192.168.130.1</a> – corporate //<br /> no wifi) and (<a href="http://192.168.123.1">192.168.123.1</a> – Guest wifi // no wired) We added a TP<br /> LINK 750 as the router for Wifi communication, connected to a switch,<br /> and then from the switch, 2 X TP LINK Archer C7 1750 as access<br /> points(dhcp disabled), and an enGenius 2.4 Ghz outdoor Access point<br />
(dhcp disabled) to spread more coverage. My question is this : What<br /> can I add to economically get a splash page to show every time a<br /> guest connects to the public wifi, including, when they leave the<br /> hotel, and come back, they have to re-sign in to that splash page to<br /> continue using the internet in their rooms ? I have access to<br /> computer parts and etc, if a computer can be added in the line to do<br /> this task, or will that idea even work ? Let me know if more<br /> information is needed. I appreciate any help I can get on this,<br /> Andrew Popowich p.s. I spoke with Shaw Business and they stated since<br /> the hotel has 53 rooms, the cost for Shaw’s Managed Wifi service, is<br /> $700 a month. And they would not be able to use ANY of the equipment<br /> that we have added in the past 4 months, total of that being around<br /> $2000.00 for equipment, and labor.<br /></blockquote> === Bradford C.
