Wireless access - with username and password

Hi I am new to wireless networking. I have a shop and wish to provide a
wireless access point to the internet. I dont want the wireless netwrok to be
a free for all. I want it so that if a user connects to my wireless lan they
are automatically pointed to a website/page and asked for a username and
password to grant access to the network. How can i set this up easily ?

thanks in advance

You might look into something like the SonicWALL TZ170w....it offers
wireless guest services. There are a lot of products out there that can do
this; prices vary. You can never go wrong with Cisco, but it's going to cost
more.

Here is a free solution that may work for you...
