Raw message 

Hi Tim

I have temporarily removed the hotspot laptop from site, as I was sure that wifi interference was causing huge problems: most of the time the clients (in this case machine accounts e.g. my iDevice) seem to connect to the wifi network and get a valid address but connectivity is extremely flaky. With me often not even able to access the management page on the server.

Setting everything up at home, I first removed the static address from the WAN port which was necessary on site as they keep rebooting the router. I have also edited /etc/chilli/local.conf to remove a few addresses from the DHCP scope so that I can give the wireless ap a static address to make it easier to manage.  All of my previous problems have gone in that my idevices and laptop connect with their machine accounts and work fine with internet access and access to the hotspot for management both www and ssh.

But I seem now not to be getting redirected to the login page if I connect a non-registered computer to the network, I just get a page not found when attempting to go to the internet.  Can you advise on where I can start to find out what is going on with this as far as I can tell everything seems OK. The laptop had run for 169 days without reboot or issue until the customer started having issues with their router.
