I have just been selected to join a committee here in Bangkok charged with
improving one the buildings of a private club to which I belong. One of our
tasks is to pep up a large open reception area, and the thinking is to change
its present sterile hospital-waiting-room atmosphere by creating a relaxed
and fun snack/sitting area. I would like to suggest adding WiFi but don't
have a good sense of the costs for equipment and s/w. Our club has
broadband so I think at the h/w level we could just plug an AP into the LAN.
Questions:
1-Is this naive assumption correct? If not, how not?
2-Should we consider to impose some access restriction? Each club
member has a p/w to access the club website from outside. Should
we consider to have (as I have run into at the PGA in West Palm Beach)
a portal page where one logs in with his p/w, which then passes one on
to the world of the internet? I assume this would create logs which
could be studied in case there were later a problem.
If this is worth considering, what s/w is involved? Can it be purchased?
Free?
3-I doubt we will have any spammers sitting in our lobby (there is a 50-year
waiting list to join) but should we consider any port restrictions or other
restrictions?
I welcome ideas on the above, as well as anything I should have asked and
have forgotten, and pointers to resources I should read up on.
Thanks for all help.
