Okay, I am volunteering my time to help build a wifi hotspot for a "cafe" in a services lounge built for the Airman.
Any suggestions on how to build or write a plan of action? Just thought this would be good experience for me to work with.
I have lots of hands on working with Antennas / Setting up wifi / security, so I feel that I could do this.
Equipment- Linksys WRT54G modified with a fan to support higher mW (or maybe not)
And one or two flat panels directional either ceiling mounted or wall mounted on both sides of cafe.
I don't know if thats overkill though, I would like to try to extend the network past the cafe and into the Airman's Lounge (Sofas and Couches) as well as the dining/reception hall area.
I can take pictures of the setup for suggestions from you guys. I just want to make this as professional as possible.
I may try to get "Nocatsplash" loaded onto the router, as well as Satori. I would like to set up QOS in order of Surfing - Email - Your normal small bandwith hoggers, and let the bittorrents and p2p apps at the bottom.
My security would be comprimised of using the setting to not allow people to see other people on the network. The nocatsplash would be for DoD Policies, and NO this would not even be connected to the NIPRnet at all, so it will be its own connection through cable/dsl/trunk line.
I have access to a radio shop that can provide cabling for any antennas.
And my shop is a full fledged eletronics shop. I would like to try to write a proposal, but, I guess I got to do some research on how to do that in the correct military format.
Thanks for any advice you all may give.
