Access Point with captive portal and session limits for advertise.

openit

Hi all,

I am looking for an Access Point or Router with features like limited time connectivity (lets say based on device mac, Internet will work for 1 hour per day), register and log in to through captive portal (or whatever).

The idea is, to provide free Internet in our area (restaurants, parks etc.) and we advertise our blog website but Internet will be for limited time like 1 hour per day etc.

Our benefit : Users will visit our website by default, may stay and go through articles if they like, and can visit if they love it.

Public benefit : The get free Internet

Please advise for such solutions. I used to hear lots of good things about Ubiquiti, maybe they have that kind ?

Thanks for your time !!

@openit Look at Ubiquiti Unifi's captive portal. I believe you can do that with it.

I would certainly go the Ubiquiti route on this.

I agree, Ubiquiti for sure.

Great topic. I have requirement something like that.

Few more advanced features coming to my mind :

Limiting no. of devices to maintain good internet speed.
Any statistics or alert if there's need of new/more Access point to allow more devices/users whenever required.

Also, I may need to limit the download size to avoid huge size downloads.

The only criticism I have of Ubiquiti captive portals is the load times compared with other captive portal options out there.
