WRT54G Firmware/Splash Page Question

[spaceinvader]

Hi all, just after some advice please!

I run a shop/cafe where the customers can get on the internet thanks to our free wifi. We use a Linksys WRT54G (version 2 i think). From searching the forums i have realised there are firmware upgrades available that would allow us to show a spalsh page to our customers...

Ok, what I would like to do is be able to create my own spash page where i could give the customers the choice to answer a few questions about the store and save the information they enter to a file.

Firstly is there any firmware that would allow me to do this?
And if so how would i save the information the customers enter in my questionaire splash page? presumably i would save the info to my pc out back which is hardwired to my WRT54G?? im just not sure!! :confused:

hope i have made my question clear, please forgive my if my terminology is wrong but im quite new to al this!!

thanks for your help :)

You have several options. First is to flash the existing router with DD-WRT and setting up a splash page. Check out this link.

I would suggest using this second method though as it is easier and more configurable, ie it requires a computer though. Check out the application called ZoneCD.

We've setup this same process for a client with a link on the splash page to complete an optional survey. We stored the results in a MySQL database to make it easier to run scripts to extract stats. You can use a similar process to create a self-registration (username/password) splash page.

If you know Linux and a bit of scripting (PHP or Perl), I can give you the basics.

You will need DD-WRT to force a web page redirection as M/Q mentioned.
