The Whotspot WRT50 is a firmware-modified Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router. It is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect Wireless-G or Wireless-B devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices. Connect four PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection, files, and other resources such as printers and hard disk storage space. Designed to support up to 25 users, it is our lowest cost offering.
Verified Linksys products have been tested with Intel® Centrino Mobile Technology for compatibility and interoperability, further enhancing your wireless experience.
NOTE: This WiFi Gateway supports most internet connection types directly. Just plug it in and it works! PPPoE connections require a secondary router like a D-Link DI-604 Router. Simply program the D-Link router with your PPPoE account information, connect it to your DSL modem, plug the WiFi gateway into the D-Link and you are done!

This plan is for locations that do not expect many surfers, but want the benefit of attracting new clients to their location because of WiFi. Whotspot's Shared Service Plan is also tailored for location owners who are undecided and thus want to minimize their investment and recurring fees. This plan is 100% hosted and maintained by Whotspot. The key features of this plan include a small upfront investment, no recurring fees with a small revenue share. In this plan, Whotspot keeps 85% of the online revenue and sends you the remaining 15% on a monthly basis. Free Access Plans
In our FIXED MONTHLY OFFERING, you would buy our WiFi Gateway Router, connect it to your internet modem (Cable or DSL), pay us a fixed ($75) monthly location fee, and offer free surfing to your customers. Your customers will still see your portal page, and will have to login with a SurfCard Code, but the account is free. For more controlled access, our $75/month plan offers the use of prepaid surfCard codes. We send you as many 30/60 minute SurfCard codes as you need. The codes are sent to you ready for you in a spreadsheet, ready for you to print on Avery labels and apply to your brochures, business cards or menus.
As a retailer, you can be very creative. For example, you could offer your clients a free 30 minute SurfCard code, if they purchase $5 or more in merchandise. You can also offer them other SurfCards, if they spend more in your venue.
The great thing about this optional service offering - is that it's controlled and it's fixed cost. You physically have to interact with the customer. No freeloaders or anonymous surfers. Only paying customers can surf free!
Also Standard, we'll keep our credit card interface operational. Other customers who have not purchased products from you will pay the full retail price for surfing by signing up for an account online with their credit card. We'll even send you 50% of the revenue for these paying customers! If you request, we can also disable this feature.
Under our Free Access Plans, technical support is provided by Email only. Need Toll-free technical support for your customers? Just add $25/month and it's yours!
