I have people try this. I found the best way to deal with them is to force all http from them to undesirable places (the rest is blocked out right). Every now and then one will call me up and explain "I was uh, on your network and all I can get is this goat web site" "Yea, you were doing more then that, however in light of your honesty I will forgo the trespass paper work, its a $100 connect fee + data used". Most of them cough up the cash. right now they are basically IP hunting. As soon as I find them and place restrictions on the IP. The find another. I use static IP's so their not getting DHCP.

[Mikrotik] Ubiquiti Bullet2
Hey guys, long time no see. Happy New Year to all. I'm designing a WiFi system for an apartment building, and I'm planning on hotspotting it all with Mikrotik at the headend. I can do two things; 1) get a Cisco managed AP system, or 2) put in UBNT Bullets with Omnis for the COST of a Cisco system I like option 2 :) Anyone used the bullets yet ? Are they really going to be "that good" ? R -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[Mikrotik] Mikrotik Hotspot System
Is the user manager solution in Mikrotik suitable for billing users for hourly/daily/monthly/etc... times on a hotspot ? We're wiring up an apartment building, and the owner now wants the WiFi deal and really wants it to be hands-off ... R -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I mean, at under $40 for an AP, you can't expect a LOT. :-) Either way, you can't find them at the moment. Ubiquiti has had a delay of some sort getting them out the door.

Re: [Mikrotik] Ubiquiti Bullet2
I've never used ubiquity equipment as an AP but I would be pretty leery of using a $40 piece of equipment as an AP in an environment for a paying customer. I have gone with cheap end equipment (cheap for 802.11) and never had anything other than headaches with it. Under power issues, overpower issues, overheating issues, generally needing resets. The best I have come up with for 'low-end' APs has been MT Crossroads still a bit on the expensive side but where I have installed them I haven't had the phone calls and I don't have to train clients/customers to powercycle the APs on occasion. Just thought I would pass it on. I have spent thousands of dollars in 'cheap' equipment that was just that... cheap. Nothing wrong with operating on a budget, we all have those issues, but it is one thing to go with cheap end CPE where you can ask the person to power cycle first and if it is a consistent issue to call and we can replace it. It is another when a hotel/motel/apt manager is constantly having to futz with the equipment and deal with complaining clients when things don't work. Especially if they are looking for something that is low-maintenance, spend now, the headaches of hidden cost of tech support will far outweigh the additional cost of APs.

Re: [Mikrotik] Ubiquiti Bullet2
We were skeptical when we started using NS5's. Use them more and more, and not a single failure, other than one POE wall wart going out. We've installed a couple of Bullet5's and were very surprised at their performance. As always, time will tell. I wouldn't use either as an AP as they don't have much in the way of registration info for stations, compared to the MT ap's.
