Configuring a Hotspot on a MikroTik router using WinBox involves several steps. Here’s a detailed guide to help you set up a basic Hotspot:
Prerequisites:
MikroTik Router with RouterOS installed.
WinBox application installed on your computer.
Network setup with a separate interface for the Hotspot (e.g., ether2 for Hotspot users).
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Connect to the Router:
Open WinBox and connect to your MikroTik router using its IP address, MAC address, and admin credentials.
2. Set Up IP Addresses:
Navigate to IP > Addresses.
Click the + button to add a new IP address.
Assign an IP address to the interface that will serve the Hotspot (e.g., 192.168.88.1/24 on ether2).
3. Configure DHCP Server:
Go to IP > DHCP Server.
Use the DHCP Setup wizard:
Select the interface (e.g., ether2).
Follow the prompts to configure the DHCP server, address pool, and gateway (usually the same as the IP address assigned to the interface).
4. Set Up Hotspot:
Navigate to IP > Hotspot.
Use the Hotspot Setup wizard:
Select the interface (e.g., ether2).
Follow the prompts to set the Hotspot IP, address pool, and other parameters.
5. Configure Hotspot Profiles:
In the Hotspot window, go to the Server Profiles tab.
Edit the default profile or create a new one:
Configure the login method (e.g., HTTP CHAP, HTTPS).
Set up the DNS name for the Hotspot login page (e.g., hotspot.local).
6. Add Hotspot Users:
In the Hotspot window, go to the Users tab.
Click the + button to add new users.
Define a username and password for each user.
Set user limits and profiles as needed.
7. Customize Hotspot Login Page (Optional):
Go to Files and find the Hotspot directory.
Upload custom HTML/CSS files to customize the login page.
8. Configure Firewall Rules:
Go to IP > Firewall and add necessary rules to manage traffic, such as allowing DNS and blocking unauthorized access.
Additional Tips:
Monitoring and Managing Users: Use the Active tab under IP > Hotspot to monitor and manage connected users.
Logging and Reporting: Set up logging under System > Logging to monitor Hotspot activities.
Security: Regularly update RouterOS and configure strong passwords to secure your Hotspot setup.
