Hotspot Configuration

What I am trying to do is this:

I have two AP30s at an office. I want each AP30 to broadcast both a password-protected WiFi network and a public, no authentication WiFi network. I have the password-protected WiFi network working, but the Hotspot is not.

My wireless setup is as follows:
For allowed interfaces, I have the internal-- which the private network is attached to-- and the Hotspot interface, which is an IP range outside of my network. The public hotspot is set up with no encryption and set to a Separate Zone. I have made a DHCP rule for it that uses 4.4.4.4 and 4.4.2.2 as DNS servers. I have the Hotspot interface Masquerading as the External interface. I have no DNS rule set up for it. For the Hotspot, I am using the "Terms of Use Acceptance" hotspot type, and the interface is the wlan interface I set up.

The network broadcasts, and I am able to connect to it. However, when connected, I am not able to load any webpages.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
can you accept the terms of use? If yes, are you able to ping the asg?

The terms of use do not come up. I have not attempted a ping of the Astaro yet. I will attempt this and report back.

Hi,
not getting the terms of use dialog is for me a clear sign that something with the configuration went wrong!
Let me short conclude what needs to be done to get it working:
- Your Separate Zone Interface has been added to the Hotspot
- Your Separate Zone Interface must be allowed DNS Network
- Your Separate Zone Interface needs DHCP
- Your Separate Zone Interface must pass the Firewall
If this all is done it should work.
Greetings,
Andreas

Check your firewall log for dropped DNS packets, you likely need to add a firewall rule allowing access to DNS traffic to those two destinations that you listed in your first post as DNS servers.

If you disable the terms of use option for now just as a test, does it work then?

I have been and will continue to be away from the office for the next few days and will be unable to try these suggestions. I will report back on my findings early next week. Thank you all.
