Hotspot with Usermanager - Vouchers/Users?
Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2016 9:16 pm
Hi WorldRoutingFriends,
I am trying to set up a Hotspot with Usermanager for a free WiFi in a hostel.
My idea is to hand out a voucher with a username/password to each guest, allow for up to 3 devices to be connected with this voucher/username and to restrict bandwidth at 512k.
I'm in Bolivia and Bandwidth is very restricted and expensive so 512k is all the user should get.
First thing I wonder, what do I put in the Limitations in Usermanager to achieve the 512k limit - just in Rate limit: or is it advisable to fill out the rest too, especially Priority ? Also what's the format for the 512 ? kbps ?
In my tests I still got way more than 512k....
As for the Vouchers, guests are usually in the hostel for around 2-3 nights, so I guess it would be nice if the vouchers would be valid only for 5 days. Can Vouchers auto expire?
What is the suggested approach to have non technical personel generate such vouchers?
Thank you for any suggestions.
