StarOS would handle this easily. I tried Mikrotik with a setup like
this, and it just didn't work quite right.
FWIW, I have a StarOS AP with approx 50 customers on it that has been up
for almost a year. Not a single reboot, just works.
StarOS will also do hotspot type authentication as well.

We're still looking for the ideal Access Point. We realize we can't pack much
more then 30-40 on these so that's one limitation. We use basically three
types: Older Smartbridges 2510 which are great units but unavailable, the New
Smartbridges replacements which don’t seem to want to consistently stay up and
Engenius AP's.
The reason we like the Smartbridge is because it allows a pass through username/password style of authentication that bypasses the switch so we can have a centralized access granted in our radius server and it interfaces to our billing. We haven't found another like it. On the other hand the Engenius has to have authentication through the switch before radius so the AP is essentially open to relaying from unethical competitors while the smartbridges.
We're pretty sick of the new smartbridges being not only unreliable but takes
forever to put in a MAC through it's overly complicated and slow loading
internal menus. If you have any others that can work like the old 2510' s with
good capacity and pass through radius please let me know.
