Greetings from Kenya, fellow WISPs.
I posted this on r/Ubiquiti and someone recommended me to post the same on this sub.
We are a small ISP company looking forward to more growth.
We supply internet to our customers using mainly Ubiquiti APs. Our main router is a single Mikrotik RB951Ui-2HnD. Main switch is a TP-LINK TL-SF1024D.
For our client side, we supply them with cheap routers, usually Tenda F3 or F300. You know, third world.
We authenticate them using the Mikrotik Hotspot, binding their static IP addresses. Pretty sure it's not a professional method, but works well. Queues define their allocated bandwidth.
We want to upgrade our main base station, replacing the RB951Ui-2HnD with a RB3011UiAS-RM, and the TL-SF1024D with a UniFi US-24-500W for better management.
We'll also run Giganet 10G cables from the UniFi switch to the base station Ubiquiti APs, through a Siemon CAT6a patch panel.
What are some professional tips and tricks you can advise as we do the upgrade?
Mainly, is PPPoE authentication any better than our hotspot method? And how effective will VLANs be in isolating our business-internet from home-internet clients, as well as our internal infrastructure like the Ubiquiti APs and a few Linux servers?
I have no experience in implementing PPPoE or VLANs either. Which is ideal for implementing VLANs in this case, the RB3011UiAS-RM or the UniFi Switch?
Kindly share your experiences and/or methods.
