Hello Mikrotik dudes and duddettes!
I am hoping that some Mikrotik Guru would glance upon this post and help this Mikrotik noob with his dilemma. Here is my current situation:
Configurations on the HAP AC Lite:
• Ether1 = DHCP Client
• Ether2 = (192.168.X.X/24) designated for the staff
• Wlan1 = AP Bridge, (10.10.X.X/24) separate network, meant for hotspot
• DHCP:
o Ether2 has staff ip pool
o Wlan1 has hotspot ip pool
• NAT = srcnat out to Ether1
• Hotspot = I set this up okay and I know it works for an admin and a test profile/user
• Radius Server:
o IP is the same as WLAN1 (some say 127.0.0.1, other say same IP as WAN interface I do not know which is “right”.)
o Incoming is set to accept
The Dilemma
• If I make a user via RouterOS, it works! The hotspot login works and it shows the limits, uptime etc… all that beautiful jazz!
• If I make a user via the Radius server (/myWanInterface/userman), the login spits the message “RADIUS SERVER NOT RESPONDING”
• Reason I want to use the Radius server is it can add users as a batch! I would like to just allow 10-20 users to use the hotspot with their own login and passwords (authentication) etc…
P.S. This is my first time posting here on the Mikrotik Forums, as I feel so hopeless right now trying to configure this. It would mean the world to me if someone would just spend a few minutes helping me with this as I am just lost as to what I am doing wrong. All of the tutorials from youtube and mikrotik sites are not helping with this issue ☹
