Hotspot setup

I’m trying to setup a hotspot on an RB751U running 5.25, and some things are not clear about doing so, for starters:

dns name of hotspot server: Is this the name of the hotspot interface (e.g. default of 10.5.50.1?) or is the the dns name of the login web page (since the example is “www.example.com”)?

and when I run the setup, it complains:

[admin@coldsnap.peak.org] /ip hotspot> setup
Select interface to run HotSpot on

hotspot interface: wlan1
Set HotSpot address for interface

local address of network: 10.5.50.1/24
masquerade network: yes
Set pool for HotSpot addresses

address pool of network:
Select hotspot SSL certificate

select certificate: none
Select SMTP server

ip address of smtp server: 0.0.0.0
Setup DNS configuration

dns servers: 69.59.192.71
DNS name of local hotspot server

dns name: login.coldsnap.peak.org
failure: setup failed to configure ip address: failed to add IP address: already have such address (6)

Are you not supposed to configure an address in the wireless interface? That doesn’t seem right…

I too am challenge with the hotspot configuration of my RB2011…“setup fails to configure IP address: failed to add IP address:already having such address (6)”

@Keanu get to IP-DHCP Server delete the DHCP server and again on the same click on Networks Tab and delete the network
Start the hotspot setup now
