E1200 with Tomato- Captive Portal setup

[jacktheripper88]

Hi everybody,
I'm having a heck of a time trying to understand the ins and outs of setting up a captive portal on a Linksys E1200 loaded with Tomato K26RT-N (version 1.28).

I've gotten the router loaded with Tomato, gone into the Captive Portal area, enabled it, changed the timeout to 7200 and saved it. But when I go to upload customized splash file path and pick the html file I created to test it with and hit upload, I get a white page "500 Unknown Read Error".

I admit that Linux is not something I have dabbled in much at all, so a lot of the how to pages on how this is done aren't too clear to me.

Right now I am assuming I'm doing the correct steps by uploading the HTML file, but the interface for Tomato is simplified to the point of not giving me and info.

I'm sure someone out there has done this before, I'm still searching forums right now.

I've never used the Captive Portal function, but tested uploading a custom splash file and got the same error. However, visiting the router IP address port 5280 after reboot (http://192.168.1.1:5280) showed the splash page so it did work.

hmmmm..... mine does too......
Any chance you know where to change the IP range for the LAN? All the walkthroughs I've looked at say just to go into Basic and the Network and set it in there, but I get this when I try to change the range:

Lol nevermind, I see the error of my ways. You can't edit an IP range, you have to delete it and create it with the new numbers.

What you're typing in looks fine. Perhaps you have to delete it 1st then enter a new one instead of editing? Also 128 is over a year old. Latest is 136, but I would do 132.

I also just recently discovered Advanced Tomato. Previous years I was all over DD-WRT. ATomato makes DD-WRT look very previous millennium.

Upgrading to 136 now, I was a little leery of it having a longer name.
I'm hoping this works well for the hotel I'm going to deploy this at.

Hopefully the Hotel have only 10 Rooms.

E1200 is Not even a Junior Power House.

Nor is it a remotely business class device.

I was talking more about using Tomato configured this way and not this particular router itself. Just happened to be one that I had access to here at my shop.
