It is not [yet] supported as is:  but you could create a user 'guest' and
change its password weekly and require people to enter guest/password as
credentials.

I think some people tweaked the code and changed the username or password
field to hidden with a default value.

On the other hand, it could be a fairly easy to program plugin in AuthPuppy.

Redirecting to your business site is easy.  With wifidog, there's a
setting to allow portal page redirection and the field will appear in your
node configuration page.  In AuthPuppy, you have to install and enable the
apExternalCMSPlugin and the field will appear in you node configuration
page.

Is it your auth servers not recognizing your router or your gateway not
communicating with the auth server?  I'm not sure about how it goes with
DD-WRT, but did you edit the wifidog.conf file with the right server url? 
What do you see when you try to connect?  Does it pass through or is there
a green page saying Uh ho! No auth server
