Hotspot Mikrotik Configuration

Setting Hotspot on Mikrotik Router OS is very easy to configure. Hotspot authentication system is usually used when we will provide Internet access in public areas, such as: Hotels, cafes, campus, airports, parks, malls etc.. Internet access technologies typically use wireless or wired network.
Usually provide free internet access using the hotspot or can also use the voucher for SASL authentication. When I open the web page then the router will check whether the user is in the authentication or not.


If not perform authentication, the user will be directed to the hotspot login page that require username and password. If the login information entered is correct, then the router will insert the user into a hotspot and client systems can access web pages. Also a popup window will appear containing the status of the ip address, the byte rate and time live. Use of Internet access hotspots can be calculated based on time (time-based) and data in the download / upload (volume-based). Moreover, it can also be done melimit bandwidth based on the data rate, total data upload / download or can be in a long line based on usage.
