Advanced Configuration; Hotspot Settings - NETGEAR WAG102 Reference Manual

This chapter describes how to configure the advanced features of your ProSafe 802.11a/g Dual

Advanced in the main menu and provide the following functions:
• Hotspot settings. Enabling HTTP redirect.
• Wireless Settings: Configuring advanced wireless LAN parameters.
• Access Point Settings: Enabling wireless bridge and repeater modes.

Hotspot Settings

If you want the wireless access point to capture and redirect all HTTP (TCP, port 80) requests, use

wireless connections to go to its server to start a billing transaction.
