best hotspot gateway

Wed Dec 26, 2012 12:34 am

Dear All,

i am running a medium hotspot project where i had hotspot software installed to PC-server and connected to CPE's, however due to bad performance of the program i am now looking for a better solution.

i am expecting 300 to 500 concurrent users with a large wifi goes up to 5 KM coverage in rural city as i am the only source of internet available at the moment, all users will log in to system by wifi.

now after days surfing all MIKROTIK RouterBoards and OS i am still confuse which router should i use,




Thanks

Dear Dobby & Samir,

Thank you very much for your advice, yes to start right from the beginning is the best way to start a business and selecting the best performance products like server or enterprise routerboard is the only way of customer satisfaction,


Thanks again,
