AP hotspot
The wireless hotspot feature provides internet access to WiFi clients with the option of forcing users to agree to terms of use. This
feature is often used where wireless access is provided to customers in a public area and allows you to configure a speed limit on
the network, limit the number of clients, configure idle and session timeouts and select to authenticate with remote RADIUS servers.
To access the AP hotspot page, click on the Networking menu at the top of the screen, click on the Wireless settings menu on the
left then select the AP hotspot menu item.
To enable the hotspot:
Select the Hotspot functionality toggle key so that it is in the ON position.
