I am looking to share my wifi connection; here is my current todo list, and a couple questions below:
- Captive portal so users accept a simple AUP (NoCatAuth / NoCatAuthSplash)? - Want to be able to cover a slice of Washington Square Park - Can buy some equipment - Antenna would be mounted outside a 5th fl window - Have a Linux box available (Tower, no wifi card) - Have an existing LinkSys WAP11 AP - Setup of QOS/bandwidth limiting per connection (future) - Setup of MRTG/Wifi network stats (future) Waiting on DSL but it should be hooked up real soon (likely next week). Have existing connectivity to be able to start exploring. Q: Anyone up for doing a quick site survey to see what coverage I can get, and what equipment would be ideal for my location pls e-mail me off the list. Q: What captive portals are the best to use, anything else out there other then NoCatAuth*? Q: What would my network look like? [Antenna]---[LinkSys]---[LinuxBox]---[Switch]---[DSLModem]? Q: Any recommendations on a good webcam that works well pointed outside?
