What is Captive Portal?

Now many buyers requires captive portal of a router.

So what is captive portal? A captive portal is a web page accessed with a web browser that is displayed to newly connected users of a Wi-Fi network before they are granted broader access to network resources.

How do we use the captive portal? Captive portals are commonly used to present a landing or log-in page which may require authentication, payment, acceptance of an end-user license agreement or an acceptable use policy, or other valid credentials that both the host and user agree to adhere by. Captive portals are used for a broad range of mobile and pedestrian broadband services - including cable and commercially provided Wi-Fi and home hotspots. A captive portal can also be used to provide access to enterprise or residential wired networks, such as apartment houses, hotel rooms, and business centers.

Captive portals are primarily used in open wireless networks where the users are shown a welcome message informing them of the conditions of access. Administrators tend to do this so that their own users take responsibility for their actions and to avoid any legal responsibility. It is discussed whether this delegation of responsibility is legally valid. 

E-Lins Technology is developing captive portal in their routers, and you will see this feature in E-Lins series routers very soon.
