I have a small IT company, it is going bigger day after day, the services I do offer need to be more efficient as the company goes bigger. I am using Mikrotik RouterOS to: * Setup a "basic and easy to manage" hotspot server or pppoe server (for "easy to manage AAA methods") or act as a regular router. * Bandwidth managment per user. It is now making me angry, cause it is not doing its job very well as the company services enlarged. So, I need an alternative, doing the same and much more. But, the only condition is: I want it a SECURE open source resource. So, I wonder if (smoothwall, ipcop, engarde secure linux or any other distribution suggested) capabilities can help do the same job Mikrotik doing for me! ******* my network is as follows: I-net gateway caching firewalling etc.: CentOS Linux. DMZ: DNS CentOS, web CentOS. Mikrotik RouterOS for what I've mentioned above. I-net gateway | hub----DMZ | Mikrotik | | hub ------------------ wifi | local net. thanks alot...
Just curious, are you running the MT OS on a Intel based board? Or are you running one of MT's boards? I am a wireless operator, I use a LOK325 as my backend but I do use MT as AU's, Link's and SU's.... Regards Also see: http://www.howtoforge.com/wifi_hotspot_setup
