Hotel AP logon software ??

Hi All,

Does anyone have a suggestion for security software
to handle customers logging into a hotel's wireless
network?

I was thinking it might only need to have the front
desk hand out a (wpa2) pass phrase and changing the
pass phrase every week or so. (It can't be
that easy.)

I have seen some hotels were you have to log into
a special piece of software before accessing anything.
Found that annoying, as I has to clear cache when
I got back top the world, as everything still
wanted to go through that hotel's stinknin' web page.

Any comments will be greatly appreciated!

It isn't. There will be many guests without the ability to do WPA.

That's nonetheless the best way. Hotspot routers tend to include this
as a standard feature.
