Step-by-step Wireless Billing Setup

Requirements

1. A computer connected to the Internet with 2 LAN adapters.

If you use a laptop, you can connect it to the Internet via a Wi-Fi adapter (LAN card #1) and have a spare Ethernet LAN card (LAN card #2).

2. An extra Wi-Fi router, not connected to your network.

The list of supported routers

The idea is that you share the Internet via your server computer from LAN card #1 to LAN card #2 and Wi-Fi router.

Open main menu > Setup > Wi-Fi setup wizard, which should help you setup the correct network topology:

Enable Internet Connection Sharing between card #1 and #2

Select a LAN card which connects the computer to the Internet, LAN card shared to your customers and your Wi-Fi router model.

If for some reason Internet Connection Sharing is not OK for you, you could try some other alternative Windows routing software. We recommend using NAT32 since many our clients use it and it proves to work well with our program.
