Friends,

I have a network that I am designing for a camper park. I plan to use Unifi for the wireless connectivity (Fixed Security) then I would like them to by default be authenitcated with no login but have a queue applied to the device with a simple rate-limit at 2Mbps. Then I would like to offer a service that they could go to a website and pay for an increase in bandwidth to a set limit of 10 or so for a fixed amount of time (e.g. a month)

What would any suggest for the best way to go about this. I would like to use a third party service for simplicity since this is for a client and we will not be supporting it and I do not want to be the one handeling the payments.

Has anyone designed a hotspot network similer to this? The main thing I am wanting to avoid is them connecting and desconnecting from the wireless to change there speed.

I had to think about it for a while, but I can see how you could do it. You would need to modify the login page for the hotspot with two sections with separate login forms and buttons, one displaying "free login" and the other "premium login" or however you wanted to word it.

The "premium login" section would have the user and password fields associated with it in the form displayed for the user to enter the user and password he/she purchased. These users would use the default profile in "/ip hotspot user profile" set to the higher bandwidth.

The "free login" section would have a hidden type form with a default user/password already entered in its form. This user would use a custom profile in "/ip hotspot user profile" set to the lower bandwidth.

Would that work for you?

Or have a single signup page and login but have add on purchases that modify the database values.

That's how I do it. I have free trial and also users can purchase gigs and higher speed. Use paypal or some payment IPN to modify database values on successful purchase.
