This should be able to be done via a RADIUS server...

if RADIUS is a requirement perhaps you could edit the question as that was not clear in the initial question it appears you are more interested in firmware

There is a project called [wifiportal21](https://github.com/aantonop/wifiportal21) that uses the [21 Bitcoin computer](https://21.co/buy/) in conjunction with an OpenWRT router running the wifidog captive portal software. This is still in beta at this time, but seems to suit your application.

It is also worth noting that OpenWRT does have the ability to create a separate network that cannot pass traffic to the main network, and works with RADIUS authentication.

TLDR; The software charges based on usage on an interval. Invoices are sent periodically to the browser which triggers payment, if there aren't any sufficient bitcoins, after several warnings, the entry node will eventually revoke access. Technologies used include IpTables, OLSRd and Node.

Although it wasn't done on OpenWRT, I hope this is useful.
