Thanks so much!!! I have been banging my head for 3 days trying to figure why I couldn't get my captive portal guest network working as it should by giving Internet access and denying access to my local network your video is the first video that I have watched that actually explained what the allowed and restricted IP addresses were for. On my system it was worded pre and post auth and somehow the defaults had been deleted...so internet access worked but they also had access to my local network. Thanks again for helping me put end to a three-day headache!

This video has been so helpful. What Ubiquit equipment do I need to set up WiFi accessible using vouchers. I want the basic stuff.

So you mentioned that if you set up a password under the guest network, and already require one for the SSID, that you'd need to enter both. Is there something simpler other than a password under guest options that my business could use without removing the SSID password? We want it to remain as secure as possible and only have one network right now.

Is it possible to create a external captive portal where the student to connect has to enter his student ID number? Using a database to validate the info the student entered?

Do you know how to configure the guest WiFi to be password protected(not open) as well as utilize the captive portal with vouchers? We were able to get the vouchers working with the captive portal but we were unsuccessful with password protecting that same network(SSID) before they enter the voucher code.

Hi there, Thanks for the step by step guide, my question: Do you have to have an active internet connection for the Portal page to appear. I have a local server no internet connection, and I want to redirect users to to the server ip upon connection.

The concepts are is still the same, but the location to setup the portal is no longer in profiles, and the page layout has changed. Enabling the portal on the Wifi page has also changed.

We can ask a email? Intead of facebook accaunt? Or Instagram?

[angelbaybungalows]

Is it possible to just have the user redirect to a specific website once connected to wifi, without them having to go through the captive portal? Thanks!

I'm trying to setup a captive portal for my vacation rental business. What hardware do I need to set this up? Can I ask / collect email addresses for the authentication type?

[DylanRobinson-bj]

Is there a way to require guest to put in more information to login like email address and phone number?

[pberrin]

Hi, just watch this tutorial. Great. I would need to activate the portal but I would 500 simultaneous connexions. I guess I would need to create multiple vlans to get 500 IP's but will the portal handle multiple vlans ?

[alihussein]

can udm offer a user name and password on the captive portal? This way you can restrict the user on different policies and monitor the traffic based on users

[mobilemike]

Great job, how export traffic user log with session and mac adress ?
