Small WISP Router

[Cybertron436]

Hi. I've recently been looking into different ways to resell internet in closed communities. I've worked out a way that makes our pricing extremely competitive at R300 for 2Mbps uncapped. All I need now is a Wi-Fi router which has the capability of doing things like allocations a certain speed, QoS, somebody connecting and being given an option to sign up wirelessly. There are a few I know of but they are all old generations like 802.11g.

Any help would be appreciated

To be honest, you are going to have a headache with ICASA to get a license to operate your WISP.

You might want to consider rather doing a deal with neotel to provide 100meg fibre, and digging shallow trenches to each house for ethernet cables, and LAN the whole place. Then everyone can pay x% of the total cost for the fibre, and you can QOS each person to guarantee 1meg or something.

Thanks for the feeback, I've recently decided to do something similar to that with Telkom 40Mbps. I've found many areas that support it with complexes and apartment buildings so I'll be using a switch with bandwidth management on it to provide 2Mbps for R300 and 4Mbps for R500 no line rental or telephone line required.

So are you running CAT5 to each apartment like you said in your previous thread or are you now going to go wireless to each client ?

We decided to run Cat6 because I've read it has more range than cat5e and cat5 although we won't need the 10Gbps. We have decided to use a switch because it can the be a fixed line look a like service where customers get their own network. Btw pricing we have worked out is R300 2Mbps uncapped total price. R500 Total price 4Mbps uncapped is this competitive enough?

with a switch you can can give them free high speed bandwidth between customers, maby a hack or two perhaps put a mikrotik router and let them pppoe
