Has anyone tried this procedure?

No, you just need to switch from regular wds to mesh-wds and that is all, it is not required to use /mesh. Only thing is that you need to upgrade your all the WDS links as WDS mesh isn't compatible with regular WDS. Thanks Uldis - Finally Found this Thread... is an issue I have had intermittently f...

If you're sending users to a remote page anyway (e.g. a web server where you collect their email), you can use the web server to generate a new account via the API protocol, and then redirect them to the hotspot, with the new username and password attached to the URL. The new user should be given t...

google uses https by default, so you can expect every user to be putting load on that.
