Hotspot MAC-adress authentication

RouterOS General

Hi,

We’re working on a hotspot solution where only the mac-adress is needed as accounting/authentication.
What the customer wants: First time a client connects, you get redirected to a signup-page. Enter your email and phone-number and your mac-adress is then accepted without further login.
The only hotspot mac-authentication I can find is related to users and password, but we’d like to avoud having to use cookies etc, since users will be allowed to run non-cookie applications after “signup”.
The portal with SSH-commands towards the RB is no problem, but how do we tell the mikrotik that MAC-address XX is allowed without any user-login, cookie etc?

Insert an IP binding for that MAC address, leave the other address fields blank, set the right server name or set it to ‘all’, and set the type to ‘bypassed’. At that point per user rate limits stop working and everyone falls through and shares the hotspot pool rate limit you defined. If necessary you can override that manually.

Perfect! Thanks :slight_smile:
