I have been asked to create a free hotspot within a shopping mall.
I have a number of questions. If anyone has knowledge of setting up a
public hotspot, I sure could use help or at least links.
Some of my assumptions are:
The mall needs a static IP, Router can provide NAT, (and default
gateway to static IP?). So the users would just need to have DHCP
enabled.
Do we hand out a username/PW for the ISP (I'm sure the ISP would love
that).
If we encrypt and provide a secure connection, everyone will have to
be authenticated, do we have them sign up for a UN/PW, and install a
server?
Anyone that has experience and could provide info and /or links, would
sure be appreciated.
