I would like to put down 1 Mikrotik Router running a hotspot service. Then I would like to place multiple Mikrotik routers in houses “behind” the hotspot. These routers will NAT their wireless connections and make it seem like there is one user behind the hotspot regardless of how many users are on the wifi. I effectively want to authenticate the Mikrotik AP in the house and not each and every user.
Is this possible as i am not having any luch witht the setup
EDIT:
Yes it is possible. I made an error on my config. Typical
If you’re doing NAT on the room WiFi mikrotik, then the hotspot won’t be able to tell the difference between one computer running multiple browser sessions, or many computers behind a single NAT. Once any one user behind that NAT gets authenticated, then all users (and devices) behind it will be able to access the Internet.
That was exactly what I was trying to achieve. the Mikrotik behind hotspot has WPA-PSK so I didn’t want every user to have to login constantly with all devices, but i wanted to keep the functionality of the hotspot page (users can topup etc automatically on that)
