followed this: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Hotspot

After last step got, router disconnected and now can’t log in. I tried to open it in web browser but got redirected to dns name.

any ideas how i can get back in?

Do you remember the user you entered when you set up the hotspot? Use that user/password to login to the hotspot, then you should be able to access the router setup.

yea it was admin with no password.

do i still use the ip address of the router or the dns name i setup?

4

I was able to get in, but the log had errors, failed to get ip for host, pool empty.

5

pool empty? How did you setup the hotspot? Please post “/ip hotspot”, “/ip pool”, and “/ip dhcp-server lease”.

in the IP pool i only gave it 2 addresses 172.15.1.148 - 172.15.1.150

I’m guessing that will cause a pool empty fairly quickly.
