I’m looking at using a board using 2 ethernet ports and 2 radios. I want to be able to put one device in a conf room and allow public internet access or authenticated network access based. Is this possible?
Sure.
Options include:
. public access on one radio and authenticated access on the other
. dhcp for public access and static ip addresses for authenticated access (of course this must be reflected in your dhcp and hotspot setup)
. public access via both radios and authenticated access via vpn on virtual APs
. etc etc
. whichever one you choose will require appropriate firewall rules
Cheers.
We just set this up for our in-house and public networks. We have WPA-PSK for both networks with the routerboard passing DHCP transparently.
I can post the setup for you if you need it.
