anyone advise on a wireless access solution for a small hotel?,hotel offers free Internet access but needs to control access in a managed way. I'm comfortable with networking just not au fait with this type of requirement and current solutions.
 
Thanks for the reply, it's a hotel local to myself that I frequent for a beer, owner has totally open wireless which is clearly a risk. Im considering offering him a solution if it was worthwhile and not too much of a minefield/ hassle
 
Yes they seem reasonable, proprietor in question isn't short of cash btw, my install/configuration fee could be lucrative :)
 
Hotel is not tiny but not huge either, it IS an ok hotel so I think proprietor would rather have a decent-ish solution, AND I would rather have a simple low hassle solution.
 
Nope. Those all in one kits don't comply with the Logging requirements laid down in the Digital Economy Bill. They are fine for when you own the network, such as providing wifi to staff in a canteen, but no longer cut it when used as a public provision service unless gateway controllers are also used with a transparrent proxy to provide the required logging levels.

cheers for the information, looks like I need to read some
