I have come to a need to connect my Linksys WRT54 grandfather router running DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/07/10) micro - build 14896

as a Client for an unsecured wifi network with captive portal login.

I have tried numerous methods without success. I do receive the WAN ip address and everything seems to be configured correctly, but I just cant get the login screen to enter the credentials.
I also tried to connect with my phone first, forget the wifi network in phone, Clone WAN MAC in DD-WRT to my phones MAC, but still it will not connect...I read that there is an option to change the TTL count, but was unable to push any commands (or did it incorrectly?) not sure if the micro version supports this feature...

Welcome to forums.

Your current build from 2010 is not supported.

Upgrade to current supported build http://ftp.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2022/06-10-2022-r49139/ then reset nvram to defaults and reconfigure from scratch (please note the UI has been fully reworked and you will need to force clear your browser cache in order to load the new CSS, CTRL+F5 will clear cache for you), then upon this, submit screenshots of the relevant your setup if you still have issues.

Other than that sorry, cant support outdated builds that in the meanwhile in 12 years a gazzilion things changed dd-wrt side, issues were fixed, known security exploits patched to mention just a few.

DD-WRT will not support logging in to a wifi hotspot directly, and likely never will. Looks like options are using client mode or repeater mode.
