[Dnsmasq-discuss] DHCP Option for HotSpot's

[Jorge Bastos]

Howdy,

I think this is done by DHCP, and if not let me know it.

I want to put the some devices to open the browser to signin in my
hotspot via captive portal.
That is, when the devices connect to the WIFI network, the browser
automatically open's, this on smartphones/tablet/similar (i've seen
windows doing it aswell).

Is this done by an DHCP option, if yes any ideia on how to?

Thanks in advanced,
Jorge Bastos

absolutely not related with DHCP. Yes you'll need DHCP on yout
hotspot, but the captive portal is in no way done by the DHCP service.

Google exactly for 'captive portal' and you'll find solutions for
that, lots free and paid options if you want to.
