Hotspot

What is the easist config for hotspot? I am just trying to set up a simple hotspot for simulation purposes. I believe my main problem is in the pool settings. Can someone help?

Main steps for setting up a basic & working hotspot are:

Set a working DHCP:

  • add a pool with the desired IP range for DHCP.
  • add a dhcp → network which match the pool settings.
  • add a dhcp → server which uses the pool created, and bound to the interface which will host the hotspot.
    Test DHCP is working.

Set up Hotspot

  • Add a Hotspot server (using “+” button if using winbox or /ip hotspot add name=… if using console)
  • Bound it to the selected interface.
  • don’t select an adress pool (address-pool=none)
  • select default profile
  • add a user for testing, tied to the hotspot (or valid for all hotspots in the system):
    /ip hotspot user add comment=“” disabled=no name=“dani” password=“1234” server=hotspot1

Try it!

Hope it will help.
