These are my new RnD on using Open Source solution for Wi-Fi Hotspot. Whether you're wanting to give away or charge your visitors for the wireless Internet without have to spends hundreds on a off-the-shelf hotspot gateway. DD-WRT Features;
- DD-WRT is a firmware replacement you upload onto a supported wireless router. This changes your router's control panel and gives you many more features, including several hotspot solutions.
- Chillispot : Gives you great hotspot authentication and management features for free or commercial hotspot locations, but requires an external RADIUS server. However, you can use hosted servers from companies such as Worldspot.net, HotSpotSystem.com, and WirelessOrbit.
- NoCatSplash : Provides a quick and simple captive portal, but doesn't include user login or management features. This is still great for single hotspot locations where you want users to agree to Terms of Service (ToS) before getting access.
- WiFiDog : Gives you an advanced captive portal and content management for free hotspot locations. However, you must configure a proprietary external server.
- Sputnik : Provides free and commercial hosted services that gives you user authentication and device management for use with free or pay access hotspot solutions.
