Not sure if I should post to UBNT or Mikrotik. Anyways we have a few
motels that we run the UniFi APs in and they offer free use of the
service. Of course its all you can eat for anyone across the street
from the motel, or those who loiter in the parking lots. I havent
really stayed in enough motels to see how they do them but what's a
way that users can get a temp username & password when they check in?
I havent dinked with it much on the UniFi. I can see how to do it,
kind of, with hotspot on a Mikrotik, but I am not sure I would want a
desk clerk dinking with the router. I am assuming that UniFi would be
easier to use for this. Problem I have is with the few motels using
UniFi they hardly ever keep the software running, and only turn it on
when they need remote help from me. We have something similar set up
with our ISP billing system for a few campgrounds where they create
their own credential then pay a few, but I had to contract a lot of
that out due to my inexperience. Maybe I need to look into the Amazon
solution. Would be cool to run UniFi on a Mikrotik router.
I also assume with them being authenticated we can track bandwidth
hogs better. We have quite a few motels that have mostly permanent
guests full time, people that never leave the room constantly
downloading movies. On the unifi we could always see who they were by
MAC only, but forcing someone to log in may help with the abuse.
thanks

Hello,
You can try Handlink's Instant Hotspot Printers
(http://www.handlink.com.tw/products_WG-500P-M.php) together with
Mikrotik's hotspot routers.
The receptionist just needs to push a button to generate a hotspot
account for the guest.
I haven't tested them though.
