How do you set up your wireless network to require login before the Internet can be accessed on it?

How can I set up my wireless network so that a username and password, or a simple login button being pressed is required before the Internet can be accessed on it? I’ve seen it at On the Border and most hotels, and I am wondering how I can do it with my own wireless network.

Thanks!

That different from what you can do at home. On those sites, you’re logging onto some authentication server that checks your status as a paying customer.

At home, you set up WPA or WEP encryption on your router, and each device that connects must provide the proper key before the connection is authorized. Usually, you only have to provide the key one time, and future logins are automatic. But it protects your network from intruders and encrypts the data so people can’t sniff it.
