wifi hotspot start page

Question

WiFi

Good evening everyone!

There was an original task to set up a megaphone router (huawei e586) as a hotspot, so that when connected to it, a certain start page was displayed to users.

How can this be implemented?

Answer 1

dd-wrt / openwrt, I’m sure that they can do this, especially after I finished it ... but I’m not sure about the cellular modem itself ... it seems to me that the easiest way is to stick an RPi to the modem, and already implement all the required functionality on it ...

Answer 2

Complex issue. Most standard routers are sewn with dd-wrt / openwrt, but yours is not on the list of supported ones. The only thing I found is wiki.openwrt.org/doc/recipes/3gdongle , as far as I understand, some routers are sewn and can be used as usb-ethernet.

Answer 3

Uh, they set a task for the night looking :)
As I understand it, it will be very problematic to do this with the help of the modem itself. If someone writes how to do this, I will read it myself with joy. In general, in theory, I think this is done like this:
1. Let's say we have a network 192.168.0.0/24
2. A client connects and receives IP 192.168.0.5
3. iptables must be configured so that port 80 requests are redirected from network 192.168 .0.0/24 on the local machine
4. On the localhost, there is any Apache / nginh that gives an index in which there is a button on click on which our client is allowed access to the network in iptables 0.0.0.0/0
Something like this. Maybe, of course, you can distort the modem in this way, but I think it will not work. In general, Mikrotiks can do this .

Answer 4

Apparently it needs to be clarified.
Why exactly a megaphone, and not a microtic - which could be 100% able. This router will distribute the Internet in taxi cars.
Can you suggest another device that can work in cars, distributing the Internet from 3g and being able to throw everyone on the advertising page we need (customizable)

Answer 5

By the way, I got info about RPi - cool, it remains to find a gsm module and wifi for it

Answer 6

tell me in general terms the scheme of my idea, if I buy a raspberry? Stick any mobile modem there, and then? configure raspberry as wifi hotspot?
