The HotSpot interface should have an IP address assigned to it. Physical network connection has to
be established between the HotSpot user's computer and the gateway. It can be wireless (the
wireless card should be registered to AP), or wired (the NIC card should be connected to a hub or a
switch).
Note that the most noticeable difference in user experience setting up HotSpot system in version 2.9
from the previous RouterOS versions is that it has become in order of magnitude easier to set up a
correctly working HotSpot system.
Introduction to HotSpot
HotSpot is a way to authorize users to access some network resources. It does not provide traffic
encryption. To log in, users may use almost any web browser (either HTTP or HTTPS protocol), so
they are not required to install additional software. The gateway is accounting the uptime and
amount of traffic each of its clients have used, and also can send this information to a RADIUS
server. The HotSpot system may limit each particular user's bitrate, total amount of traffic, uptime
and some other parameters mentioned further in this document.
The HotSpot system is targeted to provide authentication within a local network (to access the
Internet), but may as well be used to authorize access from outer networks to access local resources.
Configuring Walled Garden feature, it is possible to allow users to access some web pages without
the need of prior authentication.
