Are you working for an ISP? For wide-scale deployment, sometimes it's much easier to join a wireless alliance, something ilke Wireless@SG in Singapore. It'd save you lots of headache and initial cost. > currently I'm looking at these few models of APs to use > TPLINK - 2.4GHz High Power Wireless Outdoor CPE TL-WA5210G > Ubiquiti nanostaion M2 / nanostation2 loco ... like this one, determining which AP to use and working out their compatibility. We ended up using supported version of dd-wrt in our implementation. That would reduce some headache since now we pretty much don't care what brand/model it is as long as it can run dd-wrt and fulfills some basic technical requirements (like vendor support, CPU speed, number of ports, etc.) > will prefer to use mysql for the user's record as I can do up the login > pages with php easier. > You able to help me on this? Sorry mate. I don't provide implementation services. Again, start with the requirements, how you want it delivered (remotely or on-site), and probably some rough range of bounty. Hopefully others will be able to help you. Or contact one of the companies listed on http://freeradius.org/business/. Or contact some local companies in your area (your requirement is quite common, and it's usually easier to work with local companies) If you just need a working FR + MySQL + hotspotlogin.php, and can live with phpMyAdmin as your main GUI, many people should be able to install it for you remotely, for the right price. However if you need a working turn-key solution, complete with the sign-up page, prepaid voucher management, usage info page for users, AP testing, and an onsite implementation, that would be a different beast altogether. That being said, installing FR2 by itself is not hard if you follow the documentation.
