Is RUTX50 able to use a LAN which has a captive portal?

Good evening,

We use the RUTX50 primarily for mobile use to live stream lectures, where it works great :slight_smile:

Now we are increasingly being invited to locations where we can get to the Internet with a LAN connection - but this is protected by a captive portal.

Therefore, the question is:
Can the RUTX50 also be configured to access the internet via LAN which is protected by a captive portal?

Thank you very much for any help!,
kind regards,
Thomas

If the captive portal is over WiFi, then the travelmate/hotspot functionality is embeded in RutOS without having to install any package.

See this example Connecting to a Hotspot WiFi for Internet Connectivity - Teltonika Networks Wiki

Thank you, Mike, for your answer!

But, as I have tried to explain in the subject and in the description :sweat_smile: (english is even complicated with DeepL), the captive portal is NOT on the WLAN, but on the LAN interface.

Thanks a lot, kind regards,
Thomas

Hello,

If you are referring to an Ethernet LAN connection, unfortunately, our devices do not support this feature. However, as Mike mentioned, you can set up a captive portal with a wireless connection (hotspot). This can achieve similar functionality for user authentication and redirection. Let me know if you need any assistance with the setup.

Best regards,
