Mikrotik Hotspot Configuration
Configuring a MikroTik Hotspot involves several steps, including configuring the wireless interface, setting up the Hotspot server, defining Hotspot profiles, and configuring authentication and accounting methods. Here's a step-by-step guide to configuring a basic MikroTik Hotspot.
Access the MikroTik router's web interface by entering its IP address in a web browser. Log in with your credentials.
- Configure the wireless interface:
Go to "Interfaces" and select the wireless interface you want to use for the Hotspot.
Set the SSID, frequency, and other relevant wireless settings.
Enable the interface and apply the configuration.
- Set up the Hotspot server:
Go to "IP" > "Hotspot" > "Servers" and click the "+" button to add a new Hotspot server.
Enter a name for the server.
Select the interface that will be used for the Hotspot.
Set the Hotspot IP address and DHCP address pool range.
Configure the login and welcome pages according to your preferences.
- Define Hotspot profiles:
Go to "IP" > "Hotspot" > "User Profiles" and click the "+" button to add a new user profile.
Enter a name for the profile.
Configure the desired settings, such as session timeout, shared users, and upload/download limits.
- Configure authentication and accounting:
Go to "IP" > "Hotspot" > "Servers" and select the Hotspot server you created earlier.
In the "Login" tab, configure the authentication method. You can choose from various options such as local, RADIUS, or external.
In the "Accounting" tab, configure the accounting method, such as local, RADIUS, or none.
- Customize other settings (optional):
You can further customize the Hotspot by configuring firewall rules, IP bindings, DNS settings, and more. These settings are optional but can enhance the functionality and security of the Hotspot.
- Save and apply the configuration:

Click "OK" or "Apply" to save the configuration changes and apply them to the MikroTik router.
This basic configuration will set up a MikroTik Hotspot that allows users to connect via the configured wireless interface and authenticate to access the internet. Remember to adjust the settings according to your specific requirements and network setup. For advanced configurations or specific scenarios, you may need to refer to the MikroTik documentation or consult with a network specialist.
