DD-WRT also has better built in feature such as Sputnik, Wifidog to name a few, which makes it easier to create your own Wifi hotspot. You can use wireless repeater nodes on different subnets while Tomato is stuck with WDS / Repeater Bridge.

Héy guys!
I'm generating a hotspot system for the local refugee shelter. Now, if it had been upward to me I'd just let them have got a WPA2 essential and use it as they make sure you. But nearby national politics don't would like that, so I cán't.
Thé hardware setup appears like this currently:
1x MikroTik Antenna on RouterOS 6 connecting to the Internet
2x TP-Link TL-WR1043NG flashed with the most recent steady OpenWRT launch and wifidog set up
1x Netgear GS108GY switch linking all thrée
The anténna itself has a built in Radius machine, as most of you men probably know. I could use that for wifidog. It also offers a Hotspot functionality, but I believe if I needed to make use of that, I'd possess to have got the Antenna assign IP's i9000 over DHCP, best? Seems type of messy. Plus wifidog appears to expect me to operate the Auth server with án SQL db ánd some additional specific deals. So I'm right now contemplating to get a Raspbérry Pi with á sturdy situation and connect that up tó the Netgear change, then working the Auth machine and FreeRadius ón Raspbian or sométhing, producing the set up appearance Iike this:
Nétgear Switch =gt;
10.0.0.1 Mikrotik Antenna (Web Uplink only)
10.0.0.2 Raspberry Pi (Radius amp; Auth machine for Wifidóg)
10.0.0.3 Hotspot 1 (OpenWRT + Wifidog) (on 'WAN' Port)
10.0.0.4 Hotspot 2 (OpenWRT + Wifidog) (on 'WAN' Slot)
Today, do you men observe any problems with this specific setup, in theory? I have got tried making use of the MikroTik Anténna as the Rádius and Auth server and ran into a trillion different problems.
I'michael certain this may become a ridiculous inquiry to a great deal of you, but please carry with me. Just getting began in this range of function. I'michael grateful for any suggestions you'll frequency as nicely as possible difficulty you acknowledge.
