Hi , Anyone can recommend a good , cheap solution that i can use social login for free internet and also paid internet option for faster and longer internet usage . I have seen few online but would like to hear from any user
Sorry, all I know is that there is a hotspot capability within the router, but I don’t think there is a built-in paid scheme.
Sounds like one would have to run a radius server and work with a third party vendor?
From what I have read it does everything but the money transaction bit…
As soon as this wireless client/laptop tries to browse a webpage, they will be redirected to
a login screen and will have to specify a username and password in order to browse the
internet.
MikroTik Hotspot is also known as MikroTik captive portal because no user can access to your network without authentication. In a Hotspot network, the user can login or authenticate using almost any web browser, so there is no need to install any additional software to client end. As Hotspot login prompt is a webpage, Hotspot service can effectively be used as an advertising medium of your company as well as your partner company.
MikroTik Hotspot Gateway features
Hotspot user management with local database or remote RADIUS server.
Multiple user authentication methods both in local database and remote RADIUS server.
Walled Garden system which helps to access some webpages without authentication.
Trial user login without authentication with some conditions.
Profile base advertising facility.
Advertising partner company as well as own company within fixed time interval.
Highly customizable login page where you can put company advertisement as well as partner advertisement.
IP binding on a MAC address to provide fixed IP address to any device.

I know zyxel had some gateways with both options but they are very expensive.
