Final Notes

  • The login page may not appear if you first access a secure (HTTPS) site. Use a standard HTTP website.
  • This guide assumes a basic setup with one WiFi adapter (and optionally a LAN adapter) behind a standard router.
  • Check your ISP terms if you plan to run a public or monetized hotspot.
