Wireless Networking - Push home page when customers connect

Default Push home page when customers connect


When a customer walks into my client's store and connects to the
wireless network I want the first web page they see to be store's home
page.

When the customer opens his web browser I want the store's web page to
come up.

But when the customer leaves the store I want his home page to be what
it was before he came in.

How do I do this?

I'm a computer tech guy and I haven't been able to find this. Please
help!

There is a known HTTP request "hooking" technique, used by
many public hotspots, etc.
Just ask your IT or network engineer, they should be able to implement this.

Your client would need this feature in his/her wireless equipment. Check out
SonicWALL devices with "wireless guest services" - or Cisco, or others.

It isn't something you "do"
It is something you "buy"

You need a Kiosk System (aka Internet Cafe system). Some hotels use them as
well. Using Google should turn up several products.
