Built-in Splash screen: Line under Logo confusing

When using the built-in splash screen, one line that cannot be modified is the first line under the logo.. In my case it says:    "Welcome to Mariners on Main - appliance"

 

The first part is fine.. the name of our network.. but the "- appliance" is just weird.. that would mean nothing to the user.. any way to delete this?  Not sure where the "appliance" name comes from.. I'm guessing the MX75 we have, but it is not the name I've given it.. 

 

Any way to mod this line a bit?

because you have a combined network you'll need to do option 2 ww mentioned. in a combined network there are hidden node group names appended to the networks: - appliance, -switch, -wireless, and so on.

 

so, make a copy of your splash page then edit the continue.html file in there. should be a super quick fix.

 

first create a new splash page and you can choose copy from your current "modern" page.

Next, click the continue.html file and then the edit tab. Find the line with WELCOME and type whatever you want between the <h1></h1> tags.

Thats your network name.

Go to network wide > general

To change that name

 

Other option is to make a copy of the splash page. Edit that one.

For example the auth.html

 

<h1>$MERAKI:WELCOME$ HEREYOURTEXT</h1>

Edit:  Your help worked like a charm.. and gives me much more control over the look without having to create and host my own HTML page.

yeah.. the "-appliance" is not part of the network name.. so that is what I want to change
