Wifi Hot Spot Cafe Software

Post by pcdoctor32 »

Hey guys,

can anyone help me find a good Internet cafe wifi program that will help me sell internet. Tired of the current software that keeps messing my accounts up. Something simple and easy to run from an XP machine. I would prefer software developed by a southafrican. If not the next best solution will work. Any help is greatly appreciated!

thanks

Mark

Thanks dude!

Not really what i am looking for though. I already have software the work really well for my desktops on my LAN. What i need is something that will use DHCP on my wireless, which i can manage from my cafe server. Keep in mid i use a Satellite Gateway and leased line.

Why not consider getting a Linksys WRT54GL, and then installing DDWRT Firmware on there - it has build in 'Chillispot' wireless hotspot client software

My Ultimate goal is to reduce the amount of equipment that i already have, insurance in Swaziland is a bUGGA! As well as the space factor, very limited. I had been suggested the mikrotech system another company here.

You probably mean Mikrotik - one of the better solutions out there,
Can you maybe draw up a network map with details about current hardware / software so we can suss out what other options are for you ?
