password setting for clients
Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2022 5:35 am
greetings from the Daintree in Australia
this is my first post here if it is in the wrong forum my apologies.
i was approached today by someone who has 3 holiday rental cabins in the daintree on one block of land. He provides 600mb per day which resets at 10am each day when clients are checking out.
A previous client reset the router which runs gargoyle software as the front end which allows him to provide clients with internet access and you had to log on to access the service.
When i asked a couple of questions i found out that when they bought the business there was no handover training or manual and it has not had a firmware upgrade in the 3 years since they bought the business.
as i see it the gargoyle front end is seriously out of date problem number one.
problem number 2 he needs to have that router not accessible to guests preventing this scenario ever happening again.
obviously that logon password to access the daily allowance is in a menu somewhere but i could not for the life of me find it was my first exposure to gargoyle today.
would someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction where we can configure the logon for guests to have access to the Wi-Fi with that limit.
background. The Daintree world heritage area in Queensland is remote visitors come from the cities expecting unlimited access with satellite services being restricted and very weather dependent. Starlink has only just become available to us in the last 3 weeks yay.
my apologies for this very long post but i know from experience more information helps.
any and all suggestions/advice will be greatly appreciated
take care and stay safe
