http://ftpredators.com - cirmot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Here's another great way to get started with little or no configuration:
http://www.publicip.net/ - kennybain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0LocustWorld have put together a bootable CD (Slackware-based distro) that can be downloaded and booted in any Intel box with WiFi. It's totally brainless to setup the RADIUS, captive portal options, timed tickets, even shaping traffic. All of this is in the free OSS, but they have a commercial version out as well.
Oh, the main selling point of LW is that not only does it do all of this, but it also is a complete mesh networking solution. - tomwsmf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Now for setting up a city wide cloud of hotspots and nodes try this site
http://www.personaltelco.net - r71if, on 07/17/2008, -0/+0A lot of these methods are way too complex for a simple captive portal hotspot.
The guys at http://usemynet.biz have released a WiFi Hotspot Billing package
for OpenWRT http://openwrt.org It's completly contained on the router and ideal
for small Cafés with near zero admin. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Latest DD-WRT firmware is actually v23.
- mecha50, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Good tutorial.
- mrkoje, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thats pretty cool. The last time I thought about doing this was with the "NoCat" software. Now, I have decided to not do it all together. I don't think the boys at roadrunner would be to thrilled.
- nogami, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Good tutorial - it'd be nice if someone made a bootable CD linux distro that could handle everything (aside from configuring the router) in one operation, and save the user/config files on a USB key or floppy or such.
- cakefart, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Excellent tutorial, and a fairly decent site for other info as well.
- wade3478, on 10/13/2008, -0/+0When I was reasearching how to set up open source hotspots, that was definitely one of the best tutorials available. That said, it's not for beginners lacking knowledge with the relevant software. In my case, I had a fair bit of reading to do.

http://www.freewifihotspotsoftware.com - egeier, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0My new book, Wi-Fi Hotspots: Setting Up Public Wireless Internet Access, steps through setting up and installing four different Wi-Fi hotspot (free and fee based) solutions.
One of these solutions is using ZoneCD, a Linux based LiveCD, developed by PublicIP. In addition, the CD bundled with the book is loaded with ZoneCD.

- Eric Geier - mmxtreme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I dugg because it made me discover the howtoforge.com website
- tomaburque, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0TechnoPagan did not read the article. It's how to set up a hotspot with RADIUS for AAA (authorization, authenticating and accounting) and WPA (encryption that is actually hard to break).
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've seen much more effective ways of doing the same thing. There was an old Slashdot article describing how to make one that was portable, and solar powered, but cost a lot.
Dugg anyway, since this method is one of the simpler ones. - BubbleBobble, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0For everybody who tries this on a WRT54G version 1: debricking using the pins method does not work for the version 1. It doesn't have the Intel flash, but one from AMD. Just to let you now.
- whalesalad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah howtoforge is an EXCELLENT resource. They have lots of great articles for lots of mainstream linux distro's, etc..
- kev2me, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"BTW this thread has minus 29 comments... did people made of antimatter post here?"
Y2K+6 bug. - stoops, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It is special because with DD-WRT and FreeRadius, you can control the authentication required for individual users to logon to your base station. And prob other stuff I cannot think of right now, but this is a nice how-to article, good job.
- wazoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0good tutorial, but you need a WRT54G v3 or early v4, anything after those wont work with dd-wrt read about it in their forums. i think that you can use a WRT54GS as well.
- sofa0ne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0All the links in the article are dead. (at the time of this post...)
(digg effect) - rolypolyman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0BTW this thread has minus 29 comments... did people made of antimatter post here?
- rolypolyman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0So how do you prevent someone from running a P2P app and draining all your bandwidth? Or throttle them? That's my main concern about anything like this, aside from them doing stuff like sending threats to the Prez on my IP or downloading Metallica.
- trogdoor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Dugg for the negative comments.
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0+Digg because the front page said it had "-19 comments" ... lol
- Anchoret, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0> Surely I am missing something, but I dont get it.
> What is so hard about setting up a Wi-Fi Hotspot?
Yeah, the trick is NOT to do it; I was on some meatstick's broadband somewhere in the neighborhood in ninety seconds after plugging in a little USB 802.11b/g gizmo this afternoon. It made it harder to get my secured DSL router rigged, as the slob's unintentional HotSpot was so much more transparently easier to access that my software kept defaulting to it.
Sheesh. No digg... - tawker, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0This is a public wifi spot, not a public one!
