Clearing a Captive Portal via Bluetooth

What is a Captive Portal page?

A captive portal is a web page that requires you to accept additional user agreements or provide credentials before you can access the Internet. You may access this web page by sharing the Beam's connection with your laptop, tablet, smartphone or by Ethernet.

When connecting to a WiFi network with a captive portal authentication page, you have the option to clear the page using a helper device. Below are instructions for connecting your Beam using Bluetooth.

Note: Bluetooth sharing is only available on single radio devices. Bluetooth PAN tethering is not supported on iPhone.

  1. Insert a USB keyboard into the USB port under the face of the Beam.
  2. From the Device Settings menu, highlight WiFi Setup. Press Enter to select.
  3. Highlight your preferred network in the list of available networks. Press Enter to select.
  4. The Beam may prompt a page indicating the network does not require a password. If so, choose Connect to this network to continue.
  5. If the Beam is equipped with only one WiFi radio, it will display the option to Share via Bluetooth.
