Captive Portal. That's what it's called.

We use Aruba Wireless in our office and it has one. That's a higher end
wireless system though.

But if you search around for captive portal, you may find some hits.

Subject: Wireless access for visitors

 

Hi Folks:

 

I'm looking for a basic wireless device that can provide secure connections
for internal users (via key or some sort of authentication) but also provide
a "hotel-style" access for our visitors.  I just need two, one for each of
our large conference rooms in one of our buildings.

 

I picked up a Belkin wireless device and it is supposed to do that.  However
the management interface is very weak, and the "hotel-syle" really isn't,
since those users can still access internal resources once they enter the
assigned password.

 

We are a 3COM shop and I'm sure 3COM has something (that isn't cheap).
Recommendations?
