Many different options, but PPPOE is one of the best ones. As far as the clients, if they are a RV park, then you don't have to control what they clients are using, they can authenticate using their mac address on there router, then anything connected to that will work. Othwerise, they will have to login using that router and that mac addres of that router is the one that you auth. Making it too complicated, or your backend system can't handle multiple logins with several macs.

I have a lot of sites using MT Hotspot with an offsite RADIUS backend that handles billing and customer speed control, etc. This is fine for when the customer has a browser equipped device. They just log in via the portal and away they go. But now there are many new devices that don't use browsers, things like smart thermostats, smart TVs, certain game consoles and who knows what else. MT (and my backend) have MAC Authentication (where you set MAC as one of the login methods in the hotspot) for those sorts of devices. However that only works if the device initiates an HTTP connection. On HTTPS, no auto login and on a lot of these other devices no auto login either. So I end up having to put these device's MACs into an IP Binding table in the MT hotspot. Works great. But I lose all tracking of the user, I can't control their speed, and I don't even know they are on line. But the worst part is that now I have to manually track whether or not their subscription is current. Sometimes I forget to and their devices get free service for months. But I think there must be a way I can do the following: 1. Let their MAC just pass through without going through the hotspot. 2. Limit the device's speed to that of their subscription 3. And optionally, have the rule go away on a certain date (or after a certain period of time) I'd be ecstatic if I could just get #1 and #2. I don't know anything about "Manual Queues", only the ones the hotspot creates upon login. Can someone help me out?
