manas nirenwal Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Hi, I am having a starlink gen3 router. I am looking to configure a small scale captive portal with username and password alongwith data usage limits per user. However, I only have a starlink gen3 router, one Dlink f1210 switch, couple of Dlink Dap 2610 AP's. Can someone guide me if I could make it work with these equipments. Currently I am gonna try to configure through radiusdesk and my laptop. Although not a expert of this, need some guidance. Any help much appreciated. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarlinkLeader Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 You need an appropriate router to handle the captive portal. Try a unifi or openWRT router for captive portals. Starlink routers do not currently support captive portals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manas nirenwal Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 Is it possible to make my laptop work as router for radius desk server configuration. Like, i connect my starlink router & ap to switch .and connect switch to laptop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarlinkLeader Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 If you run starlink router into your laptop via usb ethernet adapter, then you go back into the network switch via ethernet port on laptop... So 2x networks.... into laptop. Internet in, network out to switch... Run DHCP server on your laptop, radius. Configure the DHCP to your captive portal/radius. DHCP runs out from laptop, captive portal etc. There you go.... laptop running captive portal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manas nirenwal Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Hi, can you please help me configure it, I tried to connect starlink router via laptop wifi (since I don't have usb ethernet adaptor), then lan to switch and switch to AP. But not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarlinkLeader Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Have you configured DHCP on the LAN NIC? Are you getting an IP from the DHCP server from another device plugged into the switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manas nirenwal Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 I was getting the IP from the AP through the switch. But most probably it was static IP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarlinkLeader Posted Saturday at 03:36 AM Share Posted Saturday at 03:36 AM I would recommend getting an experienced network engineer to configure DHCP appropriately for you. There is numerous cheap routers that can run openwrt and do captive portals.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
