Hi guys

I need a simple hotspot access and billing system. I've looked at Windows based products like Antamedia Hotspot and a few linux based ones, that are all too expensive or not really working properly.

It looks like I'll have to go the Mikrotik route, but am having trouble getting my head around it.

What I need is this:
1. A captive portal solution, where clients are redirected to a login where they enter a username and password allowing them a specific time online
2. 5 Wired pc's on a LAN (we have hardware)
3. An Access Point on the LAN to give access to laptop users
4. Prepaid card system, so we can print cards to sell for cash, over the counter.

If anyone in the Knysna - George - Oudtshoorn area can help me set this up, please PM me!

Have a look at www.chillispot.org

This should cater for most of your requirement. The is also additional open source software called php-myprepaid that can do the prepaid system. I have not used the prepaid part, but chillispot is working very well.
