Hi all
I want to set up a Hotspot on a virtual AP to separate local trafic and guests trafic so:

Situation:
==========
1- I have my interface wireless wlan1 as master interface (Network: 10.23.53.0/24).
2- i Created a virtual interface wlan2 (Network: 192.168.1.0/24)
3- i created an hotspot on this virtual interface (wlan2)
4- ip pool and masquerading are ok
5- default-authentication=no on the wlan1.
6- Access-list on wlan1.

result:
========
- I can see the new ssid (the virtual one)
- clients can connect to this virtual AP and get addresses (in the network 192.168.1.0/24)

Problem:
=========
- when a client want to connect to internet, they can not get the page where they can authenticat.
- So Clients can not connect to internet

solution:
==========
???

PS: my gateway to internet is on the network (10.23.53.0/24) and the ethernet port connected to the gateway is in the same bridge as the master wireless interface (wlan1).

Thx

Do you have HotSpot on wlan1 interface ? Is it working fine ?
Make sure you have address DNS server address to 'ip dns' menu, at least one HotSpot user configuration,
check that HotSpot does not have state invalid.

Hy.
I have the same problem with RB532 + Senao NL2511 Plus.
I have replaced that card with a SR2 (and an XR2 later), and voilĂ ! the virtual ssid appears (with a public hotspot on it).
There's no need of a special routerboard version, only a compatible (new) mPCI card.
