Help making a wireless network

Hello to all and thnx for reading this your answers would be more than welcome!
First of all i want to cable networks together wireless. I am running two cafe bar that are across the street... My thought is to buy 1 good router( i am thinking that CISCO 876W-G-E-K9 WIRELESS DSL ROUTER ISDN could be that) because i want to make a hotspot also so that people can drink cafe and enter internet but with a given password and username that they will enter at their internet browser when they are connected with my wireless network. Also i want to manage somehow so they can browse internet as fast as possible but don't download more than a predifined number...Also i want to connect to that router 2 pcs at then other cafe so they can have internet and access the network but i want to do that with another router perhaps or some sort of that device so they don't need each one 1 wireless card. I want to connect them to a router p.e throught ethernet and then that router is some sort of client at the cisco router so they are in the same network... Any thoughts ? can the other router be LEVEL ONE WBR-6000 N-ONE 300MBPS WIRELESS BROADBAND ROUTER or maybe US ROBOTICS USR805464 WIRELESS NDX ROUTER or maybe is there any other router better for this job?
Thnx for your time reading this huge article As i said any solutions are welcome !!
 
You need to look into WDS and RADIUS to do what you want. do a lot of homework on those two names to start with.
 
Welcome to AnandTech's Networking Forum.

There are few basic approaches to these issues.

Building Server and controlling the systems via regular software.

It can be done with Widows 2003 server and ISA Firewall, and IAS.

Buying Wireless dedicated hardware that can do most of the stuff that you described as part as their firmware.

Combination of regular hardware and specialty software.

Examples.

The two additional computers can be connected by a Wireless Router that can be configured to and associates itself with the main Router (see it mentioned in this thread, http://forums.anandtech.com/me...=2183525&enterthread=y ).

Do a search for terms like Internet cafe software, Internet cafe hardware. and you would find a lot of options.
