Abstract
A method, apparatus, and system in which a module may have both an embeddable portion and a cooperating downloadable portion scripted to plug in and be integrated into an existing Terms and Condition page of a public Wi-Fi and/or wired network. The module is scripted to cause an injection of a third-party captive portal and authentication flow when the client device with a resident browser application contacts a host gateway or other host controller to undergo a sign on experience as a guest to access/connect into a public Wi-Fi and/or wired network. The module is also scripted to direct the web browser back to the Terms and Condition page once the web browser of the client device has been through the third-party captive portal and authentication flow and its associated one or more web pages that are parsed and rendered by the web browser.
