What level license do I need to setup a 25-50ish user hotspot with authorize/paypal?
Second question is hardware. 411 board?
Radio card? Need to have wife enabled laptops connect. I’m assuming a 2.4ghz card as I can’t think of any 5ghz laptops…
http://routerboard.com/index.php?showProduct=96 comes with a level 4 license

For 25-50 users that should do fine out of the box.
Many thanks, I see the product has a built in b/g card. I assume this is 2.4ghz? Just want to be sure as I’m learning this as I go.
Yes, 802.11b/g runs on 2.4GhZ. You’ll still need to purchase an antenna and a case with that product.
On a sidenote, most modern chipsets (anything in a laptop or USB adapters or whatever purchased in the last 5 years) can do 802.11a on 5GhZ, but 2.4 is more appropriate for a Hotspot if you’re only going to have one radio.
