Multiple sites/cAPs Centrally Managed Hotspot with local Internet Breakout

Sun Apr 04, 2021 5:03 pm

Hello guys,

I am planning to deploy many cAPs on remote sites and a central CAPsMAN in the HQ. Each remote site will have their own Wi-Fi name/password but the same external hostpost. cAPS devices and CAPsMAN will be connected through Internet.

The question i have with this solution is to know if when user will be authenticated through the hotpost they can go to internet directly through the connection of the remote site, so their traffic will not come at the HQ before going to internet.

Thanks in advanced for your advises.

Rudy

Shortly,
you can select if the traffic has to go through HQ or locally on datapath,
but all the necessary configurations locally for this can vary extremely from case to case.

I would wait until MT produces a newer CAPAC model. Hopefully one that does not have proprietary drivers or if they are, can actually produce stable, predictable and decent Wifi5 results. Of course WIFI 6 would be kewl but not expected this soon. In other words although a network may be doable, the results expected should be tempered with reality.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your reply.

I will give a try before production use.
