Hotspot Management

Comprehensive tools to manage your Mikrotik Hotspot server, from user creation to advanced access control.

Hotspot Users

The Users page (/hotspot/users) is the central database for all your wifi accounts.

• Manual Creation: Add individual users with specific usernames and passwords.
• Individual Printing: Hover over a user to see the print icon. It uses the default template assigned to their profile.
• Batch Printing: Select multiple users and use the Batch Actions menu to print them all at once on a single page.
• Status Monitor: See if a user is currently logged in (Active) directly in the list.

User Profiles

User Profiles (/hotspot/profiles) define the rules for each type of voucher (e.g., 1 Hour, 1 Day).

• Rate Limit: Control upload and download speeds (e.g., 512k/1M).
• Shared Users: Limit how many devices can use the same account simultaneously.
• Validity: Set how long the account remains active after the first login.
• Price: Store the selling price for reporting purposes.

Voucher Generator

Generate hundreds of vouchers in seconds (/hotspot/generate).

1. Quantity: Choose how many vouchers to create.
2. Server: Select which hotspot server to target (usually all).
3. User Mode: Choose between Username & Password or Username = Password.
4. Prefix: Add a constant prefix to every generated username.

Active Sessions & Cookies

Monitor and control current connections (/hotspot/active and /hotspot/cookies).

• Kick User: Forcefully disconnect an active user session.
• Cookies: Manage 'remember me' tokens. Deleting a cookie forces the user to log in again on their next connection.

Security & Access

Advanced settings for network access without typical voucher requirements.

• IP Bindings: Bypass the hotspot login for specific MAC or IP addresses (e.g., for office printers or servers).
• Walled Garden: Allow access to specific websites or domains (e.g., your bank's portal) even before users log in.
