ControlAP Pro Update

LiquidEdge · 12-01-2004

I paid for, downloaded, and installed ControlAP 1.4. It seems to have solved a lot of the 1.3 bugs, though it definitely takes some time to setup.

Support from the company has been great and they even got on Instant Message with me to work through the last few bugs. Between e-mail, phone, and IM, we were able to solve all of the problems (some of them were mine, some were ControlAP's).

They were surprisingly fast with patches that were required when I had 1.3 installed.

The thing that takes the most effort is the page customization. The default pages are very simple but with a lot of javascript inside of them (some obviously more than others). Keeping everything neat while still adding your look can be somewhat daunting.

The nice thing is that their support knows what they're talking about, so it rarely takes long to isolate problems.

Hope this helps others that are looking at using this software.

Has anyone been using another kind of Hotspot software? I'd like to hear what else might be out there and how well it works.

This is for Liquidedge,

I have bought the embedded plus version of controlap. I am trying to roll out a few (as in 3 or 4) hotspots. I purchased controlap Version 1.52 Plus for the Wrt54g. Man what a hassle!ess I am impatient waiting on an email from support....... several hours.....

I am going in circles with thing! What I was looking for was an app that I could embed into a WRT54g so I could deploy a hotspot to the local eatery.

I thought that I had radius auth but it's configuration was not to be found.

$64 question.... Do you know of any solutions that I could buy that would allow me to deploy the AP into an establishment and splash screen, while radius verifies my subscribers? Non subscribers would then be directed to the control desk for purchase?

I would be willing to pay for a turn key solution! ControilAP has limited or NO
DOCUMENTATION!

Thanks for your attention
