Is there a way to set a default homepage for a Wifi Network, maybe tweaking the router configuration? My router is TP-Link TL-WR541G.
I mean, when someone just connects to the wifi and first open the browser.
Chillispot is a close solution. However, I only need to redirect WLAN hosts to a public web page when they open the browser for first time, not for login or revenue stuff.

You'll want/need to implement a captive portal. See here for a description:

In order to route my Wi-Fi traffic to a local web page which shows :
Yes, it works!
,I am using Linux IPTABLES:
#iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.1:80

As far as I know, this functionality can only be provided by the router that provides the actual gateway to the web. Consumer-grade routers generally don't provide this functionality.
However, some inexpensive consumer-grade routers can have their firmware replaced with something much more powerful. DD-WRT is one example. Unfortunately, it appears that your specific router isn't supported.
If you choose to get a different router and play with DD-WRT, then you can set up a Captive Portal using Chillispot.
Good luck :)

Hello again. I'm about to install DD-WRT on a compatible router. I'll try Chillispot, but I must say I just want the browser to redirect to a public web page, not for login or revenue stuff. Do you think it will be possible using some captative portal? – autorun – 2014-09-04T01:31:14.897
thanks for the info! I read a little about captive portals, that's seems the option, although I don't need any authentication – autorun – 2014-05-13T05:17:10.797

Posted by the OP in the question and moved to an answer post:
I've solved it using NoDogSplash installed on OpenWRT. Both are very easy to configure. If you're stucked in this, give it a try!
