[solved] Hotspot traffic speed after login

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

I setup a basic hotspot but when a user is logged, his traffic downs to 2,6kbs (fast.com). If I disable the hotspot the traffic of the client is 20Mbps. Do you know where it could come from ?
The setup is basic, a dhcp on ether2-master, client are connecting with wifi (unifi AP) which have static ip addresses. I made binding of thoses static ip for the hotspot. As in the mikrotik wiki I setup with a rate limit tx/rx to 512000/512000. But if I remove this rate limit, I got no more traffic speed.

Here is mikrotik configuration :

Hotspot User Profile
I just give the profile 1, in 0 it’s the default profile (the final one I would like to use, but I have script associated)

192.168.88.1x are the unifi AP and 2x are a raspi and my laptop to not be blocked :wink:

Thank you for your help.

When you setup speed limit via Hotspot attributes it usually creates a simple queue.

Check queues / simple

Thank you, but queue is empty.

[admin@MikroTik] /queue simple> print 
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic

I also try without rate limit and I had the same behaviors. Connected client are limited to 2.6kbs.

I reset the router and configure it from scratch. I setup first a hostpot following the mikrotik tutorial :
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Hotspot

I tested with several clients and they could log in and traffic speed was what I expected. So I customize the hotspot following the nexudus tutorial because the coworking space use nexudus to track user check in and out :
http://docs.nexudus.com:8090/display/NSKE/Mikrotik

We tried again and it works fine.

So I do not know why but it works this way. This is certainly something I did wrong during hotspot setup but that is not removed when you remove the hotspot. Because I also tried to remove the hotspot and setup a new one following the mikrotik tutorial and traffic was limited to 2.6Kbps. The reset removed everything I did wrong.

Hope it helps people.
