Remote APs - Captive portal

I have remotes APs and I want to set an SSID with a captive portal for guest access, but the Internet traffic should be from the local Internet connection where are the APs, not where the controller is located.

It's possible ?

Yes, that is possible.
Set the topology for the non-authenticated role to either routed or bridge@EWC (traffic thru the controller) and as soon as the client has put in username/password he'll get the authenticated role.

For this role use a bridge@AP topology.

Here a "normal" example...

So just change the topology in the "2) create roles" section.
!!! you should use a very low DHCP lease time on the first toplogy, so if the client is switching roles/topology that he'll renew his IP !!!
