HotSpot Shared Account

RouterOS General
1

Hi There

I’m running a small WISP where users gets access via a HotSpot with MAC athentication. I have one user that needs internet access at his business and his home, but he want to pay for only one account a month. Thus, a CPE is installed at his house and business and he has for example one 5GB account, shared between the business and his home.

Is it possible to do this via a HotSpot?

Would appreciate any advice.

Thx

you would need to use a RADIUS server to store all users in one location, and then point each Hotspot server to the same RADIUS. This way, the same username with the same limits will work from different locations/servers.

The Radius setup is in order. The problem is the IP addresses and MAC authentication. I’m going to have 2 MAC addresses, thus immediately I’m in need of 2 accounts? I cannot use the same MAC address for both CPE’s?

sorry, I missed that part. In this case the only solution is to use a username based authentication.

How would I do user name based authentication? With PPPOE? I’m using a routed network. Eg, the base station IP is 10.0.2.1 and the CPE IP is 10.0.2.100 (currently static). Then there are a few more network hops to the ADSL modem… How would I implement PPPOE in this scenario?

no, you already have hotspot. how did you set that up?

MAC authentication via User Manager Radius.

MAC authentication via User Manager Radius.

the user doesn’t have any login page shown to him? you can also make a login page that supports MAC authentication, and username authentication at the same time.

it will work like this:

if you enable mac authentication in the hotspot server profile, server will check the list for MAC addresses. if mac address is in the list, user will be automatically accepted. if not - login page will be shown.

Great, thanks. Is that login page editable?

of course, just download it via FTP and edit, then upload back
