The problem that I was seeing was that there are many wireless devices now that don't have any "screen" to see a login button. Game systems being the first on my mind. In hotels, some guests bring their kids game system to keep them from running the halls.. How can you get these basically blind systems to punch through a page like that?
I never had the time to get the workaround.

They get "fined" if it doesn't redirect to the companies specific page. I'm thinking maybe load it in a frame, or something. And have a login button above it or something. Was hoping someone had a cleaner way.

Is it just advertising for the hotel? If so, why not just creat a page that "looks" like their page. It doesn't have to have all the functionality of the real page, just a "brochure page" or something to say thanks for staying with us. Then you could add a button that "logs them in" (really just adds them as a generic user to the hotspot) so they can continue on to their regular home page. Just an idea.

The final straw was some IBM people were having a meeting at the hotel and were trying to use the wireless access for every big shot wireless device one could think of. Some would go but the ones that had to work in secure mode wouldn't allow the redirect. Bogus. Turned it off and the calls went away.

We are looking for something that does this in mikrotik because thats what we have on location already. The idea is that the user connects up, Hits the internet and is redirected to a page. And then, On the next page load without hitting "login" or something they go to the page they requested. We use hotspot for our own stuff, And have used hotspot on this before using the "trial" function but this time around we don't control the page that the user is brought to. So we couldn't add some form of "login" button to it. I've tried this with dst-nat rules and browser caching always gets in the way. What is everyone else doing?
