Hi,
I'm looking into setting up multiple hotspots using multiple AP's and DSL connections over an island. I have figured out what equipment I will use (Mikrotik router, Ubiquity Bullet or Rocket with sector antenna's) but not sure which management system to use for billing and authentication.
Can anyone offer any advice/experience on the various management systems eg. RouterOS, Wireless Orbit, Sputnik, WifiGator etc.
I posted this same post on a WISP forum and someone suggested Mikrotik have an all in one solution in RouterOS for Billing, Authentication etc. I initially looked at Mikrotik above anything else but my understanding was even if you have RouterOS you still need to setup the backend eg. host a radius server and MYSQL database locally or get someone to host this for you. Is this correct or will routerOS do it all?
I do not have the technical knowledge to setup and support a backend system so I'd rather have an all in one solution.
Any advice apprecaited,
Thanks.
