Captive Portal Feature

Captive Portal Feature

The Metro Broadband Gateway has a captive portal feature. If your WAN link is lost, all URLs or web

addresses will be redirected to the Metro Broadband Gateway device web user interface. This is illustrated

in

Figure 19

.

Figure 19—

Captive Portal feature

If you attempt to access an Internet address, and your Internet connection status is “down”, you are directed

to the Metro Broadband Gateway Web Server page as shown, instead of a 404 Page Not Found display. This

shows you that the problem is your Internet connection rather than the page you are trying to address.

LAN connectivity, for example to printers and other computers, on your network, is still maintained even if

Internet connectivity is lost.
