Hi, I got a new hap ax3 for hotspot setup, after all necessary set up of interface, bridge, addresses and hotspot setup wizard, the hotspot server is in red, showing invalid,
With no, Filter rules, NAT, iP of dns server is 0.0.0.0
I have updated the routerOS to 7.231, all the packages have been installed
Pls help
You'll need to change device mode setting to enable the Hotspot feature. For example, you can change the mode of device-mode to advanced and make sure the hotspot device-mode feature is then enabled. See the documentation for more information:
You'll need to be physically present near the device, and when being asked to, have to perform hard reboots by unplugging and replugging the power supply.
I use netinstall app to re install the routerOS n all the packages, then followed ur instructions, the hotspot is up n running, but I can't find my wifi1 and wifi2 interfaces.
Its not in interface
It's not in wireless or wifi
Did you install wifi-qcom package as well ?
I think you installed the wireless package, where you should have installed the wifi-qcom package. As mentioned above as well...
I installed wifi-qcom.
The wifi interface is back
Enable them, added to my bridge
I'm getting
--- no available channels
Wat did I do wrong?
Configuration, please share /interface/wifi export
I installed the routerOS version that came with the router and installed the packages,
The hotspot is up n working well,
Now I have an issue with creating profile and voucher using mikhmon or userman,
It's not connect to the router.
Wat could be the problem
I don't understand

Looks like they are there.You might want to change the above to to:
/interface wifi
set [find default-name=wifi1] channel.width=20mhz configuration.mode=ap .ssid="VTL hotspot" disabled=no
set [find default-name=wifi2] channel.width=20mhz configuration.mode=ap .ssid="VTL hotspot" disabled=no
Slight changes, but it does make it more readable and solve a small problem.
Furthermore, don't use admin as username.
And at last, can you share the ouput of /ip/hotspot print
My issue is linking my router to mikhmon, so that I can create user profile and vouchers for the hotspot.
