Hi:
I have a problem. when I create pppoe server with hotspot(advertise purposes) in mikrotik, when a client uses an access point to connect to another access point that is connected to a switch which is connected to the Lan(give internet to clients) in mikrotik server every thing just fine until client want to connect to another access point (any access point), the client cannot enter the software of his access point, since the hotspot redirect any url to the mikrotik login page.
I.E:
an access point with address/subnet mask: 192.160.0.2/ (255.255.255.0)
when you change the ip and gateway in the properties of Local Lan Connection on the client pc. and try to get access to 192.160.0.2 you cannot since the hotspot redirect the page to the login page, when pppoe connection(on client pc) is inactive, and if the pppoe connection( on client pc) is active, then the address give (the page not found) page.
what is the problem. is it a firewall settings or what?
note: you can access the access point after you reset it.
Why not use only hotspot without pppoe? Do you mean that a client wants to enter into the control panel web gui of his WiFi router configured as a client-device to your Wi-Fi network? When the PPPoE is up, the routing table on the client PC is different, therefore routing requests to 192.168.0.2 via another route, that’s why the page does not load. When I use PPPoE along with hotspot, I usually give IP addresses from different ranges e.g. 192.168.0.x for hotspot and 10.10.10.x for PPPoE. If you still can not figure it out, please post some screenshots of WinBox - IP addresses etc. we could help more when we see what’s it about actually. Or simply type /export in your Terminal window and then right click, copy all or copy screen, and paste here for us to see. What’s your internet uplink, just out of curiosity?
