WAC730 Captive Portal - Facebook - Issues
WAC730, standalone, v3.8.3.0, two SSID in service, FB Login proof of concept for customer demonstration Created a new SSID, assigned the second captive portal NETGEAR-1 Configured the second captive portal NETGEAR-1 (why ever this profile name can't be renamed - Netgear does still not understand [my!] profile design concept you have stolen from another vendor), Captive Portal Mode (x) Enabled, Register with Facebook WiFi (x) Yes, Profile Name NETGEAR-1 [x] Admin enabled, Authentication mode: Facebook Wi-Fi, Facebook page: [set]. When accessing the SSID, the captive portal page does show up very unreliable - all current Windows 10/Android/iOS/macOS. When it does show up, we can check in to the Facebook site. And the access works kind of as expected. IF you have ever the chance to check-in on the FB site. [ISSUE!] When now attempting to manage the WAC730 over the LAN, the Captive Portal does jump in - why ever, always. Regardless if calling https://wac730-1.[whatever.dom.ain]/ or https://[WAC730-LAN-ADMIN-IP]/ (same with http), the FB WiFi Captiv Portal does jump in: ...now we're nice, and [Check in] at the site... ...we can click on [Continue browsing] as many times as we want, the browser does call the LAN IP (as originally requested), and the [Continue Browsing] page does come up again. The WAC730 Web UI is not accessible over the LAN at this state. Even if trying a new session, a different browser - we're really captured. But not by accessing the SSID ... by attempting to manage the WAC730 over the LAN! Obvious [BUG]. Firmware is current as of Support / WAC730- ProSAFE Business 3 x 3 Dual Band Wireless-AC Access Point v3.8.3.0. Proof of concept failed, looks like we won't get an order Netgear WLAN equipment for this customer RaghuHR. Bugware. Untested. Back to the skunkworks. Now I don't wonder why the Nighthawk router model(s) supporting FB WiFi are suffering from basic functionality issues as well.
PR2000 support captive portal wireless login page?
Hi everyone. I've read the manual and attempted to ask Support, but have not found the answer to this. https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/PR2000.aspx Does the PR2000 support captive portal wireless login pages? These are web pages for public wifi networks where you need to take some action on the page, like checking a box, in order to connect to the network. The PR2000 interface allows you to connect to wifi networks with a UN/PW, but it doesn't appear to support a browser interface in order to get past the login page of the wifi network you want to connect to? Does anyone know if the PR2000 supports this? If so, how? If it doesn't it really limits the usefullness of the device. Thanks in advance!
