I work in a computer store and I have been asked to look into setting up a wireless hotspot where people can come into our premises and use the internet wirelessly with their laptops. I have a vague idea how I can do this but I was hoping for some assistance from the more knowledgeable people here.
Im going to need a wireless adsl router with a decent range and probably one with a 125mbps wireless transfer rate, unless something even faster is available. The thing is we dont want everyone to be able to jump onto our connection so it will have to be secured and here's where I get a bit stuck.
I assume it will use a wireless encryption privacy key for security but how can I give access to certain individuals? We will be charging for the service with some kind of hourly fee I think but that has yet to be decided. How can I allow access to the wireless hotspot for one individual for a set period of time then once their time is up, prevent them using it afterwards?
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated and if anyone can suggest any decent wireless routers that I can look at purchasing that would be great too!
Thanks in advance!
May the NFOrce be with you always.
