Walled Garden
If you want to provide features other than the default Gateway / Router login pages you can use the Walled Garden Options. One reason is that you want your hotspot users to be able to create their own tickets to gain Internet access. Another reason can be that you want your users to be re-authenticated after their first login, i.e. when they come back they don't have to enter their credentials a second time, but will be connected to the Internet right away. Furthermore via walled garden there are more options for a custom layout than with the router custom layout features.
There is a url with header section of walled garden, you will find the information in Walled Garden Options.
The walled garden options must match the router configuration and vice versa. For details please read Walled Garden Options.
You can give three different pages/options to your users for accessing the internet, you must have to configure these three options for your router/access point.
