When an Internet connection is provided within a certain area through a wireless local area network, or WLAN, this area is called a hotspot. NYC design hotspots will utilize routers to give people Wi-Fi connections within these hotspot areas. If you personally have a philanthropic or business organization, and you'd like to set up a hotspots for it, it's very easy to do. What you just need to do is to inform yourself on all the basic networking information and get the equipment.
You can either offer your Wi-Fi hotspot for free to the public, or you can charge a bit and make some money off of it. First off, you need to understand your Internet Service Provider's, or ISP's, agreement. After you're fully aware of all the terms and conditions, you can decide how you'd like to offer your Internet access.
It's really important, again, that you read the ISP's contract with you. You must do this before you even design your hotspot so that you know you aren't violating any conditions you agreed to. It's most likely that for any home Internet connection, creating a hotspot is actually violating your contract. This differs for businesses, so you really should inform yourself about the rules before the hotspot is set up.
Once you understand everything you've agreed upon with your ISP, you can set up your Internet connection with the use of a wireless router. Once you know for sure that it's possible to access the Internet through this connection, you can use an area that you want your hotspot to be in range of. Smaller areas such as a cafe or a bookstore won't require you to set up an additional antenna to reach a certain range.
Larger areas such as parks, apartment buildings, or libraries will require something different. You must purchase a wireless antenna that is high-gain. This boosts your signal from your router for the entire area.
Once you've chosen your antenna type, you can set up the router in an area that will allow for the best coverage in the location. The best area will be above the ground and away from any large obstructions or metal objects. The line-of-sight will determine how good the signal is.
You have to ensure that you have the proper security in your network. You probably won't have to protect the network even more if your wireless connection is completely different for your home Internet. If you do use this same connection for both your business and home, though, you have to ensure that the connection has a guest feature that the public can access.
If you do have a separate hotspot for your business, but you want to limit the access, you should set a WPA password that will only allow access to those that have it. You can then give out the password to only your customers. You can also decide to make money on the connection by setting up the password and charging for it. Or, you can install some software on the router that will ask the users who access the Internet to pay for their use.
