Hi, I am looking for a currently available device that I can use with OpenWRT as an Access Point with WPA Enterprise. After failing with a commercial implementation (a DrayTek AP 900 which does only do the minimum necessary to claim WPA Enterprise compatiblity), and with DD-WRT not having released for eight years, I'd like to try OpenWRT.
I would like to hear your recommendation for suitable hardware. I would like to have: - 802.11n in the 2.4 GHz band, 802.11ac in the 5 GHz band (or better), simultaneously - Sufficient and good antennas so that the WLAN range is acceptable even in a difficult building with lots of drywall - 802.1q support on the Ethernet - Multi-SSID-Support - Support für WPA2 Enterprise with an external RADIUS server - Support for RADIUS Attributes allowing the RADIUS server to specify which VLAN a certain client should be mapped into after connecting to the same SSID. - Support for RADIUS Attributes telling the Accesspoint to disconnect a user after a pre-defined amount of time. When I tried to build my own OpenWRT for the last time, I failed miserably. Therefore, I would like to be able to use a pre-built OpenWRT image on the device. I believe this might influence the device selection since the image is probably going to be fairly large, influencing the need of flash size. A commercially available accesspoint with this feature set is going to be beyond 200 Euros, so I do have a bit of budget available to buy the hardware to run OpenWRT on, and I am talking about buying two or three of those. I do not need to go for an el cheapo accesspoint in the 30 Euro range like Freifunk needs to, so I'm open for hardware suggestions. The hardware compatibility matrix is a help here, but I'd like to have a selection of two or three possible candidates to start with. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance.
