DHCP Server is showing red

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I have completed setting up a hotspot using the Mikrotik RB951Ui-2HnD. However, I am experiencing 2 errors:

  1. The DHCP Server is showing red

  2. I am unable to access the userman login page from the browser using the "ip address/userman"

Please find below the config file:

Hi pob, first I would like to know whats the point of having 6 IP pools with the same network/range.

That must be an error… I’m not sure how it came about… unintended… I’m an amateur trying to configure an home hotspot.

How can I go about correcting this please… and fixing the other problems with the dhcp and accessing the userman login page

Sounds like you need to learn how to configure the router before attempting hotspot…

Error is because by default WLAN interface shows down when nobody is connected! That’s why dhcp-server show in red because is configured in a down interface
