MikroTik

I'm expecting to provide Hotspot services for @ 100-300 users at an upcoming 3-day weekend race event.
Presently, I've got a 15/4 pipe into a 750g router/hotspot with never more than 10 users concurrently.
I'm also using usermanager/paypal to close the deal.
With the large amount of users, should I switch over to an existing P4 box with RouterOS 4.11? As compared to the RB750G.
I imagine I can create any amount of vlans on the P4 box with 2 nic's?
Isn't this the the recommended setup? Adding vlans and separating various user groups on different subnets. I.E. one group will be volunteers, one group standard speed, one group high speed.
Licensing?
Thanks

You don't need more than a level 5 license (that will do 500 active users). Yes, I'd either use three different physical interfaces for three Hotspots, or three VLAN interfaces.

If you're standing to make a bunch of money off the deal, and have a PC ready to roll, you might as well spend the $100 to get an L5 license to install on a flash drive you can then later on use in any other machine that can boot off flash.

This might work on a 750G - remove all packages you don't need. The processor is relatively fast so it should be able to handle 300 simple queues OK. Make sure you don't turn on transparent proxying and don't do any caching as that will exhaust the RAM, the 750G only has 32MB.
