Auto login wifi guest network

hi all,
we running an iPad pilot within our company and I'd like to use the internal wifi guest network. the guest network is using a loghin page with userid and password and a little checkbox to accept the terms.
when i connect with the ipad (and iphone as well) and fill in the required fields it nicely connects. but after sleep or a reboot it keeps coming with the login page and needs the uid/pw/checkbox. I can make the ipad remember the uid/pw and it fills them in the login page but it keeps wanting the checkbox.
there should be some automatic protocol to auto login so I connect to the company wifi just like it is at home (i know, wpa2 at home is completely different, but for the end user is isn't
is there an option somewhere in Iphone config util? Can I pre-deploy guestnetworks with ipcu?
anyone?
cheers,
emiel

This is not an iPad / iPhone issue. This is an issue with the way the network is configured in regards to authentication.
Just a guess, but I'm betting you don't have the cooperation of the IT department in this venture, do you? If you have a separate, secure internal network, You may be able to convince them to allow the iPads access to that network instead. The fact that you're trying to use the guest network tells me that IT either doesn't know about this or has prohibited their use on the company network.
That, or the company contracted out the configuration of the network and no-one knows how to get around it.
This wouldn't by chance be a hotel, would it?

Auto login as guest

Is there anyway to auto login on my network hard drive as a guest without having to select guest & then clicking okay?
I have wrote a script in automator so that it logs on automatically when Mac OS X starts up, I would like it to be fully automated without the pop up box asking for username/password or guest login.

Can you add an alias to the volume to your Login Items in System Preferences>Accounts>User
Or can you just put the alias in the Dock next to Trash.

Will not auto-login to Airport Network after Leopard Install

Since I have upgraded to Leopard my G5Quad will no longer automatically log in to my existing Airport Network. I have to MANUALLY select my network name from the Airport Menu Bar drop down.
After waking from sleep, the computer remains connected to my network with no problems. Only after a full startup does it exhibit this behavior.
VERY ANNOYING!!!
Please help!

When you go to System Preferences, choose Network, and click on Airport in the left pane, what do the settings look like in the right pane?

Problems joining Wi-Fi networks that require viewing a redirect page in iOS 8.1.1? Check your "Auto-Login" setting.

Are you having problems joining previously used Wi-Fi networks that require you to view a login or redirect page (say to accept Terms of Use) first? The problem could be your Auto-Login Wi-Fi network setting.
I found numerous cases where I could not access in-store Wi-Fi networks (Nordstrom was one), hotel networks or in fact networks where you had to first view a Terms and Conditions page or where you had to login via a web form.
These were all networks I had used before.
This appears to be due to the "Auto-Login" setting assuming that once you (re)join a previously known network you can just go ahead and use it without further action. When the iOS device receives an error trying to use the network, it silently drops the Wi-Fi association.
If this is happening to you, follow these steps:
1) Go to Settings -> Wi-Fi
2) Select the network you want to join
3) When a check-mark appears next to the SSID, press the "i" button on the right hand side
4) Set Auto-Join however you want, but shut off the Auto-Login switch
5) Now attempt to use the network and you should be presented with the usual redirect page with terms you must accept or where you must login to use the Wi-Fi network in question
This cleared up the issue for me everywhere I had previously been having issues.

Just let me get one thing straight...you don't change don't do this for the PC you have your router plugged in to?
"For Vista:
1. Open Control Panel, Network and Internet, Network and Sharing Center, Manage Network Connections
2. If Wireless, Right click on your Wireless Network Connection, otherwise, Right click on Local Area Connection and click Properties
3. Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4)
4. Click Properties
5. Tick Use the Following IP Address and enter the IP you want to use for that PC. I would start at 192.168.0.100(D-Link) and work your way up on each additional device. The second device would be 192.168.0.101, the 3rd, 192.168.0.102 and so on. Like I said, different brands of routers use different IP's, so it could be 192.168.1.100 and so on, so you will need to know the IP address of your router first.
6. Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 on all pc's and devices
7. Default Gateway is 192.168.0.1(D-Link) or whatever your router's IP is on all pc's and devices
8. Tick Use the Following DNS Server Address and enter 192.168.0.1(D-Link) or whatever your router's IP is and click OK.
9. You will need to do this on all Vista Pc's"

Auto-Login Network User

I am wondering if there is any way to auto-login as a network user?

Quit System Preferences.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the System Preferences and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

Possible to use Airport Extr and Express for WIRED Guest Network?

Situation and landscape:
My house has a Comcast cable-modem, which is connected to an Airport Extreme (AEx).
The AEx is running WPA WiFi, and this is all good.
There is one ethernet wire running out of the AEx, which goes 150 feet to the rear of my house, across a short corridor (protected from weather with insulated pipe) and into my garage apartment, where it terminates into an Airport Express (APress.)   This garage apartment is frequently used as part of a rental property. The APress is extending the same WiFi SSID/settings.
When guests arrive, they are able to plug-in their notebook computers to the APress ethernet port, or use the WiFi.
Well, the problem with that, obviously, is that they can "see" the other computers on the network, and printers, etc.
It would be perfect to set configure the AEx and APress to the WiFi "guest network." However, there are problems with this:
1) Believe it or not, many guests still use direct-plug and do not have nor know how to set up their WiFi -- so they MUST have a direct ethernet wire.
2) When I use Airport Utility for the APress, it does not show any WiFi guest network option -- maybe because another dependent setting is not allowing this (i.e. Bridge Mode?")
3) The distance between the AEx and this garage apartment is too long between them to shoot a WiFi guest network from AEx and to be picked-up by the Airport Express... and there's a center core in my old house that is impervious to all radio frequencies and could block a nuclear blast. Well, it causes a degradation of wireless.   And this brings us back to #1 above...in that I need a cable ethernet option.
Picture attached of current landscape:
So, maybe....
I've spent the better part of a couple of hours searching here, particularly for the terms "access point" but the terminology isn't what I need. What I wonder if perhaps I need to place an APress beside the AEx, turn on Guest Network at the AEx, then "pick it up" with a second APress, and carry the ethernet signal to the garage apartment and allow guest WiFi and wired. (see second picture)   Will this work?

OK, here how to set this up.
Open up AirPort Utility 5.6.1, select the Express, and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab located below the icons
If you want the Guest Network to have a different SSID (recommended), then change the name of the wireless network, adjust the security settings if needed, and change the Wireless Password and Verify
Click the Internet icon up at the top of the window
Click the Internet Connection tab just below the icons
Change the setting for Connection Sharing to Share a public IP address
Click the DHCP tab located under the icons
Change the DHCP Beginning Address to read something different.....like 10.0.5.2
Click Update and give the Express a full minute to restart
At this point, the Express indicator light will be slowly blinking amber
Open up AirPort Utility again, select the Express and click directly on the word Status (2nd line)
You should see a Double NAT notice with an option to "ignore" the item
There may also be an Setup over WAN notice with an option to "ignore" the item
Click in the boxes to ignore both items, then click Update again and the Express will restart and display a green light
Try things out to verify that the Guest Network cannot "see" any devices on the main network...and vice versa.

E4200 Guest Network advanced settings?

Hey guys.
i am interested to know if there is anywhere (even in the code) where i can play with the guest network settings?
Stuff i really miss:
*. ability to change the default webpage login for guest network
*. Ability to set a lease time for guest network
*. Ability to use special characters in the password (@!$%)
is it even possible or an open source firmware is the way to go?
thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

*. ability to change the default webpage login for guest network
- not possible
*. Ability to set a lease time for guest network
- not possible
*. Ability to use special characters in the password (@!$%)
- sadly, it's only alphanumeric but hey, it's case sensitive.
is it even possible or an open source firmware is the way to go?
- AFAIK, no 3rd party firmware has been successful in enabling the guest network.

My new iphone4 connected to the internet fine at the store today, but will not connect to my wifi at home - it sees the guest network, but does not give me a place to enter the password

I just got a new iphone 4 (my first one) and the internet worked great at the store, as well as in the parking lot at the grocery store on the way home - yes I was playing with it! Anyway, now that I'm home and the store is closed, it won't connect to my home wifi. It sees the guest network, but it doesn't give me place to put in the password, so I'm not sure if that's why it won't work. Also, I don't know what settings to put in for the screen that comes after the network choice screen - it has IP Addresses with DHCP, BootP, and Statis (I don't know what any of these are or mean!) It also has a 'renew lease' button that I have no idea what to do with, and it has a section with HTTP proxy that is highlighted "off" but also has 'manual' and 'auto' options - maybe these are not set correctly?
Very frustrating that there is no manual, and the website doesn't really help with this at all. Thanks so much!

If you look at the top left of your screen you will either see a 3G (or 4G if you have AT&T) or you will see the wi-fi symbol. If you don't see the wi-fi symbol you are connecting to Gmail through your cellular data plan, not via wi-fi.
To answer your question, it doesn't happen often but when it does the steps I mentioned above will normally resolve it. Hopefully you won't have any further problem with this.

WiFi auto login problem

I have a iphone 3g s with ios 4.1. My institution has a wifi connection in which after connecting to the wifi network we have to login through a web page. The institution has two login pages, one for desktops and the other for mobiles. The problem is that the mobile page is not properly coded so even after entering username and password and clicking, it would come back to the same page and thus no logon. Earlier I had a nokia n95 phone in which after connecting to the wifi network, whenever the mobile site used to open, I would edit the link and open the desktop version. Now in iphone whenever I connect to the network, the mobile version always opens up with no address bar and thus I can't login.
Can anybody help me as to how I can edit and open the desktop version.

Don't close the auto login page - edit the URL for the login page provided for the Desktop version.
If this is not successful, the brainiacs at your institution in charge of this need to update the login page that is provided for mobile devices so this isn't a problem - especially with the number of mobile devices that are available now which will continue to increase. This was a problem with your Nokia and now with your iPhone, so whoever is in charge of this at your institution should eliminate the mobile version of the login page and just provide the Desktop version since they don't know what they are doing with the mobile version.

I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. Bad job testing the software Apple.

I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. What's the fix? None of the recommended fixes work in any of these devices. Reset device, reset network, renew lease, etc. None of them work.

Does the iPod work OK?
Does it charge when connect to the computer?
Does it appear in My Computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

Kids are using the WiFi all night long and not sleeping... How can I temporarily turn off the WiFi at night using the Airport Extream or Airport Utility? I must keep the guest network up as I have a tenant in an apartment over my garage using that.

My kids are up all night streaming Netflix and using the WiFi on their iPads and Apple TV. The next day they don't want to get up and go to school. Is there a way I can set up a separate access point for just the kids in AirPort Extreme and then turn that one off when i go to bed? Or somehow turn off the main network when I go to bed, without having to reconfigure the entire router the next day, and then simply turn it back on the next morning? I have to keep the Guest Network up as I have a paying tenant living in an apartment over my garage that uses that network.
In the event it's not possible with the AirPort Extreme, any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You can configure the AirPort Extreme for Timed Access using the AirPort Utility. Basically what you are doing is restricting the time of a wireless device by its MAC address has access to the base station's wireless network.
To access this feature: AirPort Utility > Select the Extreme > Edit > Network tab > Enable Access Control: Timed Access Control...

Using Bride Mode to have private network to ethernet and wifi but also use Guest Network for public?

Hello,
I am trying to use my new Apple AIrport Extreme in Bridge mode to have our private wireless network. (This works great) and a guest network for the public. When I create the guest network and update settings and then attempt to connect to the guest network wifi it says no internet. :-(

Apple assumes that you will be connecting the AirPort Extreme to a simple modem......not a modem/router.
The correct Router Mode setting with a simple modem is DHCP and NAT....allowing the Guest Network function to work correctly.
When you have a modem/router "upstream" from the AirPort Extreme, the correct Router Mode setting is Bridge Mode for the AirPort Extreme to avoid having two devices both trying to act as routers on the same network.
You might be able to get away with having two devices both configured to act as routers on the same network....but at best, there will be negative consequencs. At worst, the AirPort Exteme may not function at all if you try to configure it incorrectly.

ML wifi dropping fixed by no double NAT on APE, but no guest network in no NAT bridge mode.

ML wifi connections drop on Airport Extreme with dual NAT
I have a 2011 MBP, and a 2010 Airport Extreme. Ever since installing Mountain Lion, the MBP constantly drops wifi connection to the Airport Extreme. It doesn't drop wifi connection at the coffee shop.
Fixed by bridge mode
So I started the AirPort Utility. It informed me the AirPort Extreme (APE) has dual NAT, because the cable modem has NAT, and to change the APE to bridge mode. I did that. It fixed it! No dropped wifi. However, a few hours later, my neighbors came and told me the guest network is gone! So it fixed it for me, but broke my neighbor's connection. So I switched the APE back to NAT. Now my neighbor has wifi but my ML wifi connection is now dropping all the time.
No guest network in bridge mode
The APE doesn't have a guest network in bridge mode: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r25840392-airport-extreme-bridge-mode-guest-conn ect

Linc, I agree it shouldn't work in bridge mode. I don't like that the Cable ISP is using NAT, but it is. All of these devices attached to my Airport Express are working.

It may depend on how the ISP do their network infrastructure. I've seen internal IP addresses in the first few hops of a Cable ISP but I can't remember whether was it the 1st hop or 2nd hop onwards.

Re: Traceroute output: What is the first hop ip?
Most ISPs use private RFC1918 IP address schemes for their private network. They effectively treat your street as a LAN, then perform NAT/PAT on your behalf at their CO. This means they can translate onto the public IPv4 or IPv6 internet and take a lot more control over the traffic generated by your network/PC"

Guest network on express message no internet connection main wifi still works on express

guest network on express message no internet connection main wifi still works on express

We need a bit more information to be able to troubleshoot your issue.
The most common cause of Guest Network / No Internet problems is trying to use the AirPort with a modem/router or gateway device.
The AirPort needs to be connected to a simple modem in order for the Guest Network feature to operate correctly.
Can you provide the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem"?
We don't know if you are using a Mac or PC to try to configure the Express, so some information about what operating system your computer is using would be helpful.

Does guest network disconnect the wifi?

I have an airport extreme (5th gen) and use an airport express (1st gen) as an extention (bridge) on my home network. I have also enabled the guest network on my router usinng wpa/wpa2 personal.
Every time i upgrade the firmware from 7.6.1 the wifi disconnects from time to time (I now use 7.6.4). A few days ago i disabled the guest network and the 7.6.4 worked like a charm for several days. Yesterday I once again turned the guest network on and now I experience unstable connection on my wifi.
Is this a known issue for all firmware verison later than 7.6.1? Once again I am considering downgrading to be able to run my guest network alongside my ordinary wifi-connection. Or is there another solution to this?

I have an airport extreme (5th gen) and use an airport express (1st gen) as an extention (bridge) on my home network. I have also enabled the guest network on my router usinng wpa/wpa2 personal.
Please understand that the guest network will NOT be extended in this configuration because BOTH AirPort base stations must be simultaneous dual-band models. Your 5th gen Extreme is, but the 1st gen 802.11n Express is not. Also, version 7.6.3+ firmware must be used on all base stations to support guest networking.
This fact, may or may not, be the reason you are having the issue but I'm leaning towards that it does.
