I’ve been interested in building a custom router that I could use to automatically deal with a captive portal at a cabin I rent a few weeks each year, but I don’t think I’m ever going to get to it. How annoying is it to deal with captive portals?
- navanchauhan 4y agoI hate captive portals whenever I’m carrying a few pi zeros / esp32s to tinker with because I cannot directly connect them to the wifi. Rather than building your own I would highly suggest looking into Gl.Inet routers because they come pre flashed with OpenWRT and support handling captive portals
- guiambros 4y ago> How annoying is it to deal with captive portals? Zero issues. You go to your router's page, select the wifi (captive portal or not), and that's it. When you try to connect to an external site the captive portal will pop up, you authorize, and that's it. Moving forward any devices connected to your GLi router will have internet access (without requiring the captive portal on each device).
