I'm trying to make WiFi hotspot for customers and keep our company network separated. I'm thinking of using mikrotik devices for this reason. The idea is to make every customer connect for maximum 1 hour. Other requirement is that we have to use tablet that is connected to private network as well.

Here are different ways how I think this could work:

1) The first idea was to connect mikrotik public router and private office switch to modem. Then (somehow) connect router to switch for reasons of router settings. Then make VAP for tablet with ability to connect to private network ( in case vap has some option minimal bandwith because even with 200 users connected table must work) PC in office would connect to router over switch and my app would dynamically create WiFi users.

2) Next is that I would use second router for private network but I would still need connection to mikrotik router over switch.

3) I would buy bigger mikrotik switch and connect only some cheaper WiFi access point the connect. Switch would have separated subnets.

Next question is how secure can I make private AP? Is Mac filtering and hidden ssid enough?

Also should I generate 2000 users at once and enable/disable them dynamically or generate users dynamically?

And is in mikrotik some option to limit time connection is valid? And not just actual login time?

  • You'd better ask the Mikrotik helpdesk as this is really specific. I've had good experiences with Ruckus. – CustomX Nov 08 '13 at 09:04

You can use Mikrotik devices for this reason. About security, you can use isolation+WPA2/AES+MAC Filtering+Hotspot authentication together, but for Hotspots with public access, there's solutions to use short messages on mobile phone authentication i think it's more useful.
