wi-fi control
« on: September 13, 2007, 04:07:20 AM »
Hi All,
 
I am looking for some software to control access to my wireless AP and would obviously like to run it on SME. I have seen stuff like ZoneCD but really want to utilize SME Server. What I am looking for is when someone connects to my wireless network they get a log in screen and require me to supply a password, like some hotels and internet cafes use 8-). All suggestions and ideas welcome.

Regards,
Del

A simple search on hotel results in a few hits like these:

And perhaps this (internet cafe software) might be of use as well: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=15365.0

Hi Cactus,

So why didn't I think to search the word "hotel"  :oops: Might be because that I don't really have an hotel, just interested in this type of solution  :-P Thanks for loaning me your wisdom, I will check these links out  8-)
