Hotspot Trail

RouterOS General
1

Can’t seem to figure out what I’m doing wrong… I’m testing the trial login for the hotspot on my home router, but I keep getting redirected to the MT Hotspot login page.. Here’s my config:

/ ip hotspot 
add name="hs-guest-ap" interface=guest-ap address-pool=hs-pool-7 profile=hsprof2 idle-timeout=5m \
    keepalive-timeout=none addresses-per-mac=1 disabled=no 
/ ip hotspot service-port 
set ftp ports=21 disabled=no 
/ ip hotspot profile 
set default name="default" hotspot-address=0.0.0.0 dns-name="" html-directory=hotspot rate-limit="" \
    http-proxy=0.0.0.0:0 smtp-server=0.0.0.0 login-by=mac,cookie,http-chap http-cookie-lifetime=3d \
    split-user-domain=no use-radius=yes radius-accounting=yes radius-interim-update=received \
    nas-port-type=wireless-802.11 radius-default-domain="" 
add name="hsprof2" hotspot-address=10.100.2.1 dns-name="bitshotspot.local" html-directory=hotspot \
    rate-limit="" http-proxy=0.0.0.0:0 smtp-server=0.0.0.0 login-by=mac,trial trial-uptime=1d/1s \
    trial-user-profile=default use-radius=no 
/ ip hotspot user profile 
set default name="default" idle-timeout=none keepalive-timeout=2m status-autorefresh=1m shared-users=1 \
    rate-limit="128k/512k" incoming-filter="guest-network" outgoing-filter="guest-network" \
    transparent-proxy=no 
add name="fullaccess" idle-timeout=none keepalive-timeout=2m status-autorefresh=1m shared-users=1 \
    transparent-proxy=no

Any suggestions?

nobody has implemented this feature huh?

I’ve been wanting to try this feature for awhile now…I’ll be digging into it this weekend so I’ll let you know how it goes and if I can help out at all.

I’ll do some more digging myself tomorrow… I’ve only played with it for about half an hour, then I had to go to work.

It’d be nice if the hotspot feature had a “free use” authentication method. Just so you could setup queues for users that connected, and use the advertise feature… That’s what I am hoping to use this Trial feature for…

Here’s the config for one of my hotspot profiles with the trial feature working:

/ ip hotspot profile
set default name=“default” hotspot-address=0.0.0.0 dns-name=“”
html-directory=hotspot rate-limit=“32k/128k 64k/256k 48k/96k 30/30 8
24k/48k” http-proxy=0.0.0.0:0 smtp-server=0.0.0.0
login-by=mac,cookie,http-pap,trial http-cookie-lifetime=3d
split-user-domain=no trial-uptime=5m/1d trial-user-profile=default
use-radius=yes radius-accounting=yes radius-interim-update=5m
nas-port-type=ethernet radius-default-domain=“”

You could set the trial uptime to ‘1 day’ and the Trial Uptime Reset to ‘1 day’ the modify the hotspot login page so they just click on a link and get logged in.

Hope this helps!

Finally got a chance to try this out. With the default html code and ROS 2.9.23, I just turned on the trial option in the login types and it worked great. Note that if you set the trial time below 5 minutes, the counters don’t work right. I set it to 1 minute, but the session timeout was 5 minutes. Setting it to 3 minutes gave me a 4 minute timout. 3 Minutes gave me a 1 minute timeout. Hmmm. Anything above 5 minutes seems to work fine though.
