Hi,
I was wondering if someone can help me out with the following.
I have a wireless network which is the gateway to the Internet at home.
I also have a restaurant which is 200 meters from my house and employ a
small harbor for about 100 boats.
So I bought an antenna wich has a 400 meters range.
This works fine and a really good coverage. But some (not costumers) people
abused it
What I want to do is give my costumers free access to the Internet when they
are visiting the restaurant and/or harbor.
So what I was thing about to give them access with somekind of autorisation.
Preffered would be that nothing would be installed on the client computers.
I know I can control it by MAC adresses in the router but that's to
complicated. Also by WEP is not preffered (when the key is known the
security is gone).
So what I was thinking to give them a username and password and a time limit
the account can be used.
For example make a pc as a wireless router, authorisation software on it to
control the access?
Does someknow if there is a solution for suchs?
Regards and thanks in advange.
