Linksys has released their new Captive Portal software that allows you to create secure wireless networks for your home or office. This new software is very easy to use, and this tutorial will show you how to login using your Linksys account.
What is a Captive Portal?
A Captive Portal is a security feature of Linksys routers that allows authorized users to access the router’s administrative interface. By default, the administrative interface is accessible only to administrators who have been granted privileged access to the router by Linksys. Captive portals can be useful in situations where you want to restrict access to your network to certain groups of users (such as employees, guests, or children), or where you want to provide an additional layer of security for your users.
How to Setup a Captive Portal
If you want to create a secure network for your employees or guests, then a captive portal is the perfect solution. A captive portal is a web-based login screen that requires users to enter their username and password before they can access the rest of the internet. Once users are authenticated, they can access the protected network without having to enter their login information again.
To set up a captive portal with Linksys, first open a web browser and navigate to the Linksys website. From here, click on the “Home” tab and select the “Networking” category. On the next page, under “Wireless Security,” click on the “Add A New Wireless Network” button.

If you already have a user profile created for your network, click on the “Import Users Now” button and select the file that contains your
