| Re: WISP Authentication - PPPoE Maybe? I started with fully bridged network and authenticate by mac addresses.
It was such a pain, and the bridged network started to be sluggish when i reached 50 clients.
I decided to implement radius server and pppoe server on the NOC and the same bridged network, that is your #1 option. That was a little but not very significant improvement on my network, when i reached 100 clients it was again real pain.
The best thing is to go routed, pppoe server on every AP and a centralised radius server on NOC (option #2) and that is what i did.
Since then, i never look back, i only add new APs to new location, backhaul them to the NOC,mikrotik is very handy at providing pppoe server. I have now 4x bigger network and never had an issue with network efficency or broadcast problems. |
