Implementing WIFI on a resort/bar

Implementing WIFI on a resort/bar
Hello guys,
My boss has a new resort club/bar and many coming guest were asking is there available WIFI connection on the resort for them to be able to use. Granted that were going to install WIFI how can we prevent those resident around outside the resort/club area? We want just to cater the WIFI inside the resort what should we set on the router (Linksys wireless N dual band) wireless security and access parameters?
Pls specify step by step procedure if you would.
Help is much appreciate among you guys and thanks

Roger

You can try the method of MAC filtering, which allows only certain user to connect your wifi router. Go to command prompt and Type command ipconfig/all and find out MAC address(physical address) of network card which you want to connect. Then navigate to Wireless-MAC Filter setting in router admin in browser. Select “Allow” radio button and click on add button. Enter PC MAC address(physical address) in this format -00:22:68:CA:5A:5D and save settings. This will restrict you WiFi router access only to certain pc's, who's MAC address you have added. No other pc can connect to your WiFi router now.

Hi Yaropolk buddy,
I'm doing this at our office (network WIFI) level using the MAC Filtering on every notebook of my co worker like you said but the problem now is at my boss resort club (WIFI different venue) which in this case i need to do this everytime to each and everyone customer entering the club and that would be the exact case i need to resolve. Is there a chance/way that I could limit the broadcast so the outside resident around the club resort would not tap into? sort of OPEN but limited in area? The resort club is inside the residential area and it quite small area just a bar, small pool, billiard table and recreation area or playground for kid. Hope you got some other more advise how to deal with in that case. Sorry I didn't ellaborate more of my case but sure you still have more idea my friend and pls help.
Thanks
Roger
