Any wireless router will make a hotspot,

But if you want to limit things such as usage and make people pay to use it, you will have to buy one with specialized firmware on it.

You need to provide a lot more information.

Who do you want to use for billing? Or will it be free?

If you want to charge for usage, look at www.tomizone.com. It's a New Zealand company, and there are routers with their software loaded, ready for use.

There are many options, for example any router where you can install DD-WRT, as it includes the Chilispot hotspot.
