Customize hotspot

You can use templates to customize the captive portal for Wi-Fi hotspots.

Requirements

You must have already created an SSID and selected Enable hotspot on Advanced settings > Captive portal. Otherwise, the Template drop-down list isn't available.

Create a custom captive portal

To create a custom captive portal for your hotspot, do as follows:

  1. Go to My Products > Wireless > SSID.

  2. Click the SSID you want to edit the hotspot for.

    Tip

    On AP6 series access points, you can also customize the hotspot locally on the access point UI. See Captive portal.

  3. Go to Advanced settings > Captive portal.

  4. Click Template and select Custom from the drop-down list.

    Note

    Sophos Central uses the default template unless you customize it.

  5. Enter a title for the captive portal.

  6. Enter the welcome text you want displayed on the captive portal.
  7. (Optional) Define the terms of service that users must agree to before connecting to the network. The terms of service must be fewer than 10,000 characters, can't contain special characters, and can't contain HTML.
  8. Click Customization preview to preview your captive portal page and customize the company logo and color.

  9. Under COMPANY LOGO, select the folder icon to upload a logo file from your local computer.

    Note

    The maximum file size is 1MB, and the recommended image dimensions are 200x200 pixels.

  10. Under BACKGROUND-COLOR, you can select a color from the menu or enter the hex code in the field to the right of the menu.

    Tip

    You can see your changes in the preview on the right side of the page.
