12. Q: Does GuestGate support PHP, ASP or Perl?

A:

No. GuestGate does not support server-side scripting.


13. Q: How often does a guest need to authenticate on the welcome page?

A:

Only once. As long as GuestGate is not restarted and the guest remains

connected to GuestGate, the guest will never again be prompted to enter the
password and agree to your terms and conditions. If the guest disconnects from
GuestGate for a period of 10 minutes or more, the welcome page will be displayed
again the next time the guest tries to access the Internet.

14. Q: The wireless signal of GuestGate does not extend far enough. How can I

increase the coverage?

A:

You can connect additional WLAN Access Points to GuestGate’s LAN ports, or,

you can set up additional Access Points as repeaters. Hardwiring additional Access
Points is the preferred choice. It provides a more stable wireless network that
provides better performance and is easier to configure.

15. Q: How do I configure wireless security such as WPA/WPA2 encryption?

A:

GuestGate’s wireless function does not support wireless encryption. You can

secure the Internet access using the various guest password mechanisms. If you
need a wireless network that is secured by encryption, you need to connect external
access points to GuestGate and disable the internal WLAN function.

16. Q: Can I access the administrator menu of GuestGate from one of the guest ports?

A:

No. For security reasons, this is not possible. Access to the administrator menu

can only be gained through the host port.


17. Q: Can I access any guest computer from the host network?

A:

No. Opening ports to connected computers, as you can do with any standard

router (virtual server / port forwarding), is not possible with GuestGate for security
reasons.

18. Q: Can I open ports in GuestGate to allow access to a connected guest computer?

A:

No, that is not possible. See the previous question.
