If your setup does not work, you will have to telnet to your dd-wrt router. You can use putty to do that. (You can also launch commands in the web interface...)
If you are not redirected to the hotspot portal*) Make sure that the internet comes from the WAN (internet) port, and not from one of the lan ports. This is very important.
*) Make sure you reseted the factory settings after installing dd-wrt v23sp2, and that you have powered off the router.
*) Check if your wifi client get an ip address from chillispot, it should be something like 192.168.182.x
*) Check that your router has access to the internet. This should be done before you setup chillispot. do a "ping google.com" for example (in the web UI you can make a "ping -c 4 google.com"). Check also that the internet is connected on the internet port.
if no, check your wan+lan settings
*) Check that your wifi is working without chillispot. Your wifi device should get a LAN address from the dd-wrt dhcp server (if it is left enabled), and you should be able to connect to the internet.
*) now configure chillispot.
If it does not work, look if you have a "chilli" process by typing the "ps" command
28436 root 4588 S /usr/sbin/chilli -c /tmp/chilli.conf
This line means you have chillispot running.
You can kill it by typing kill 28436 (in this example)
If you don't have it, launch chillispot by hand by typing "chilli -c /tmp/chilli.conf -fd" (only in the telnet session)
If you have an error message, it will tell you what is the problem.
Then retry, you should see the chilli output changing.
You made a subscription and the portal give a message saying that you need a subscriptionFirst you should know that your router has 3 mac addresses: the WAN, the LAN and the WLAN mac addresses.
You may not use the mac address that is written on your router, instead click on "display a list of your hotspot mac address" (in subscription page), or look at the hotspot mac address column in the session history page.
Very important: When you change the "dhcp interface" chillispot setting, your mac address will change.
Note that you can edit your subscription mac address at any time by clicking on "edit" near to your subscription.
You may also check the "last usage" column in your subscription page to check if your subscription has ever been used.
If you still have problems please make your own topic.
