Sharing your Peplink Connection with A Captive Portal or Guest Network
Sharing your connection with friends and strangers can often be neighborly, which is what the Captive Portal and Guest Network features on a Peplink router allow you to do.
A guest network allows you to create a password-protected SSID or one without a password to share with everyone.
Or there is a middle ground - a captive portal is a webpage attached to an open guest Wi-Fi network that forces people to agree to terms of service before granting access to the Internet. This is similar to how many campgrounds and coffee shops are set up.
Peplink routers have built-in captive portal features that let you set up a guest network that might help you meet your RV or boat neighbors - and maybe even get a bottle of wine delivered to your doorstep.
This article goes over using these features.
