``` ```
sudo git fetch --tags sudo git fetch --tags
sudo git checkout 2.4 sudo git checkout 2.5
``` ```
A tag is a pointer that isn't connected to the main development tree that git knows about. As a result, git will reply that you're in a 'detached HEAD' state. This isn't a big deal, it just means that you have a specific version of the code that isn't connected to the git tree.

Yes, the [nodogsplash project](https://github.com/nodogsplash/nodogsplash) works just fine with RaspAP and is recommended over other methods. A detailed setup guide is [available here](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/wiki/Captive-portal-setup).

## <a name="schedule"></a>How do I create a hotspot activation schedule?
This is a common function in consumer wireless routers. For example, let's assume you want to disable wifi on Monday, Tuesday and Friday between 02:00 and 08:00. You can implement this with cron to stop/start RaspAP's service control script at certain times. Run `sudo crontab -e` and add entries like so:
```
# Stop RaspAP services at 02:00 on Monday and Tuesday
0 2 * * 1,2,5 sudo /etc/raspap/hostapd/servicestart.sh --action stop
# Start RaspAP services at 08:00 on Monday and Tuesday
0 8 * * 1,2,5 sudo /etc/raspap/hostapd/servicestart.sh --seconds 3
```
