noviceuser Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Hello, I have a network that has some static IP "appliances" that need internet connectivity I also have about 10 APs that I use to connect PCs via DHCP. What I am looking for is an open source server that I can use to create a hotel like wifi connection. For example when someone connects to wifi they will need to authenticate through a website with a number/password and then they can browse the internet. At the same time however I need to have my appliances that are hard wired (or any hard wired devices) to not have to authenticate (because it would be impossible for the appliances to do so). I have some multi-homed boxes I can use to install whatever I need. Can someone shed some light on this? If it's not open source that's ok too. I would just assume there is something out there. Quote

Thamdhz Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Hey I am currently researching this solution to a similar setup as yours http://freeradius.org/ Quote
Infiltrator Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 I think you should give this one a try, I've spent the last 30 minutes reading up all the information on the website. There are a lot of features, that you will find useful. I'm even thinking in setting up my own hotspot and above all it looks very easy to set up too http://www.publicip.net/features.php Quote
Jamo Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 In DD-WRT you can use chillispot and freeradius server to create that hotspot. It just requires that your wlan router supports dd-wrt. Quote
