One reason for a guest and Staff/in-house wifi access point is very simple. The access points may be very dumb.. They may be old wireless routers, Raspberry Pis , or USB dongles hung off who knows what. Guest Wifi may use G band while Staff uses an N-band access centered on the Admin area. Some people learned on single SSID systems . They may not be comfortable going beyond them. My router with 2 extra nic ports and onboard WifI., plus USB 2,. No Wifi access is currently set up. For my home use, almost anything would serve. I am the sole user on my net now. I am a retro Pc hacker. A captive portal may also secure primitive systems which do not have good user controls themselves. There are DOS, Amiga, and even 8 bit systems being given wifi or Ethernet capability. The portal may manage access to the local net, direct internet access, or VPN secured access.
Hi there, this is a great video, thanks for that. I have a quick question. I want to have two logins on my Captive Portal page (on same page) 1. Open Access (After click/Agree will allow them access to a Walled-Garden ) 2. Voucher (for WAN/Internet) How can I achieve that, with PFSense
