In principle, any "router" with hotspot functionality could be used. This feature is characterized by the fact that the router is connected between the local LAN and the Internet and provides the user with a login page.

The entered user data will be transferred in cooperation with Bill4Access via RADIUS (Remote Dialin User Service).

For example, a Linksys with DD-WRT software included with chillispot hotspot function.

How expensive are hotspots?

Again, there is a wide range. A Linksys/Cisco WRT54GL with DD-WRT software starts at around ~ 49,00 €. You must take care that the selected device is able to provide the required capacity. There are many restrictions concerning the possible number of users, depending on the memory and processor size. The company “Mikrotik” offers powerful hotspot devices in different classes.
