Hello team.
I’m hoping someone will help me with the following issue. I spent quite sometime trying to make it work.
I’m using RouterBoard 1200 with routeros version 5.16.
I’m trying to setup hotspot on vlan interface. I tested my vlan interface with dhcp and it works( meaning I can connect to internet and browse any internet site). But when I configure Hotspot on the the same vlan interface the only thing that works is if I access the external website by IP address. If I try to access any website using its name such as www.cnn.com, nothings works - I don’t get redirected to hotspot login page. Even I go directly to the login page and login, still www.cnn.com does not work but if I use the ip http://157.166.249.10 , it works. When using IP address, login page redirect also works.
It must be something to do with the dns and hotspot not working together. If I disable the hotspot the dns I configured in router works. When I create Hotspot, I see in the nat tab, there is some port redirects going on.
I followed hotspot setup wizard according to this instruction:http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Hotspot_server_setup
Can somebody please give a hand on how to solve this. It is highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
