Hi,

  am new for networking and openwrt app,so what i want to do is,

  for eg, coffee shop,
 
          customers want to access my mobile wifi hotspot , so when they open internet browser its redirect to my localhost home page(it may be advertisment page of coffee shop) so how it is possible in openwrt app,

          what i did is,

           i installed openwrt app in my mobile, and got luci UI(127.0.0.1),here after i dont know how to achieve my requirement and also i cannot able to install nodogsplash or coovachili in my openwrt app for redirecting.

          so kindly let me know am in right track? or else how to achieve the above requirement using openwrt?

          looking forward for your response.

thanks,
Durga

coova-chilli works like a charm on openwrt. However, the setup is some kind of "black magic".
First try coova-chilli on real LINUX. After success on openwrt.

Thanks for the reply,
   one more question am installed openwrt app in my mobile so it act as a router now, i open openwrt app linux terminal in my phone and try to install coovachilli
   it shows no packAGE found like coovachilli,nodogsplash

  how can i move forward in this case?

The discussion might have continued from here.
