Feature Request - Responsive and customizable Hotspot Page

Yuri

Please give a way to make hotspot page more customizable (ie: edit logo size, edit html structure, etc) and responsive.

Hi @Yuri
The Hotspot feature built into the firewall itself is rather limited due to the webserver it shares with the firewall. There's a limited amount of space available to host that page, hence the limited options.

We do offer the ability to point to an external authentication page, which you can read more about here:
https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/help-center/en-US/Content/en-US/Fireware/authentication/hotspot_external_guest_auth_about_c.html

Pointing to an external page would allow to you edit the webpage however you like.

Yuri

is there any example page?

Hi @Yuri
I would suggest reading the full articles so you fully understand what you need to configure, but the page I linked above links to other articles that provide an example:

@Yuri
You would need to write the entire page if you used an external server.
