Topic: Authentication / control through LAN ports

The content of this topic has been archived on 7 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

We would like to use either Radius or Chillispot through the LAN ports of one of these boxes.

Using the sveasoft firmware radius could not do this.

IS it possible to control access through the LAN ports using OpenWRT?

The reason we need this, is we have many good APs that cannot YET be replaced, which we would like to plug into the Openwrt box.

Thanks.

Of course. It's linux cl so you have none of the arbitrary constraints as to what options they choose to offer on a webif.

OK - but would this involve programming the firmware ourselves, or will chillispot automtaically be able to work through the LAN ports?

The discussion might have continued from here.
