I have 2 clients that want to set up a free hotspot at their businesses. One is a bar and the other a meeting room type facility. Since they are providing the service for free, neither is looking to spend a lot of money. I’ve seen “do it yourself” solutions using DD-WRT but I really don’t want to get involved in flashing router firmware, etc.
I’d like to be able to offer them one or two different options that are reasonably priced. I’ve looked at Patronsoft’s Firstspot system and am thinking that is going to be on the high end of what they may be willing to pay. It ranges in price from $400-$1400 depending on the version and maintenance.
If anyone has any suggestions for a lower cost alternative, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
