Hi Mark,

How much bandwidth does your “basic telus wifi broadband connection” provide?

Since wifi is a shared medium all clients are sharing and contending for the bandwidth available through the wifi link.

For example, if you users are contending with 50 others over a 100mb/s Ethernet attached to the access point, their actual available bandwidth becomes 2mb/s.

Another limiting factor is the router’s resources. A Linksys router may be capable of handling 15-20 simultaneous users, if you have more users then that, use a Ubiquiti or Mikrotik router.

Which firmware did you download? What is your router’s model?

You can use our step-by-step setup guide here: http://www.hotspotsy…tall_guide.html

After you change the firmware, and configure a few settings your hotspot is ready! You router will be set to receive the splash page and authenticate users from our servers located in 4 different places around the world. You can start collecting payment right away.

Please see this article on the topic: http://www.hotspotsy…=5042-EROP-0462

what would you suggest to start off as far as bandwidthwith with a typical downtown connection thats not crazy busy on a linksys wrt?
