Router to connect to a wifi lan?

echelon6 · 21st July 2012, 10:37 PM

Wondering if this set up is possible. I want to use a normal consumer grade router (e.g. I got an old Billion modem router) to connect to a corporate wifi lan to access the internet.

The corporate wifi has a 2nd login screen where after you connect to the wifi and load any website, it asks for another login. So I want my router to pass on all info to all computers that it serves via ethernet in its sub-lan so the user can manually type in the second login. Is this setup possible?

easy with dd-wrt: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Client_Bridged

but this is really something you should talk to the IT people about and have them set up.
