Larry is correct. I've went towards Mikrotik in these instances due to the overwhelming amount of "Go To" people and a Wiki on just about anything Mikrotik out there. Not to mention the cut and paste drop in scripts available.

But as I noted... programming IOS or even chucking in routes using command-line on Mikrotik "looks" like coding. I guess my point was that if you want to start a WISP, be prepared to get your "hands dirty". At some point, you are likely to find the need to use a language whether it be IOS, Mikrotik-scripting, Bash, C-Shell, or even Microsoft NT batch language. - Larry -----Original Message----- From: Josh Luthman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2010 5:33 PM To: [email protected]; WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] New WISP Coding != networking :) On 4/27/10, Larry Yunker <[email protected]> wrote: > For what it is worth... running a successful WISP will require a certain > level of technical expertise and probably a "coder". > > Anyone can throw up a simple access point with a tall antenna and connect it > to a LAN, but to grow and reach any sizeable market, you are going to need > someone that knows how to configure routing between access points and that > will look a lot like "coding". > > Additionally, you will learn that with most solutions, access control, > network monitoring and bandwidth management all require some "coding". > Very few out-of-the-box solutions exist that provide for all of these > aspects of WISP operation. > > Regards, > Larry Yunker > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of Liam Cummings > Sent: Monday, April 26, 2010 5:50 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [WISPA] New WISP > > Hi all, > > We are a technologies solutions company located in Cincinnati and trying > to become a WISP.
