Thanks, I'm getting closer to this... I did customize the "login" page and Looks like I may have, out of ignorance, crippled or removed that trial user link...any one have an example of what the html code looks like that allows the trial user access on the login page? I can use the info to...

ok, when I check the "trial" login method, clear out the cookies and active users and then try to "surf on in" to my hotspot "clean" like someone just stumbling on the hotspot for the first time, I still get a login screen... Where's the "trial" feature? Hotsp...

I've been trying to do this for the last couple hours...exactly How does one have the trial users and the regular subscribers on the same hotspot? Login methods checked for my hotspot are: http chap, cookie, trial I made a trial user profile with username "guest" and password "guest&q...

I've got a hotspot and I add users using winbox...so I'm guessing...door #3?

...so I guess there's no way for mikrotik to do that...someone should fix that...seems like it would be a pretty useful feature...

I have some users that are subscribed at 60hrs/month. I want to reset their time used to "0" on the first of every month. I also have occassional people (not subscribers) that buy pre-paid cards that I'd like to expire 30 days after first login. Not reset, just expire. and not on the first...

ok, some people get the pop-up window and some don't ...it's a browser setting issue depending on the settings of the customer...not mikrotik...thanks.

just want to put an end to this if anyone ever finds themselves in the same situation. I upgraded to the most recent mikrotik , but using the old backup files. When I reloaded update, system reset, and rebuilt everything from scratch everything works great now...

wireless accessing Mikrotik: NeighborViewer YES, winbox NO.. I can log onto my mikrotik hotspot router wirelessly through Neighbor viewer, but cannot via winbox. winbox detects it...after a very long wait...but when i try to log on via MAC it gives error : "router disconnected" I get error...

Someone else suggested this: I have seen a MTU mismatch between interfaces cause a problem getting into hotmail/yahoo, where basically the mismatch was eating the cookies (har har) and preventing login. However this was using PPPoE, so not sure if it would have the same effect in your case. Check ya...

Someone on another site suggested I do this:

I would try and go into walled garden and try and see if adding those websites to being accessible works to solve your problem.

Any suggestion on how to do this? I'm just begining with Mikrotik...

Wow, I was really hoping that was going to work, but no good... True, the only setting for login was http-chap but when I added the other types, I still get blocked...same symptoms as before.

ok, the page editor was doing something to mess up the html code. as long as I do everything with notepad it works...now I have to cobble together a custom logon page, but that's ok, it's working...anyone have the code I can add to it to have a little usage/status window pop-up when customers log in?

I had 2.8 something on a wisp-router hotspot thinrouter from famenet and was happy with the login screen that it came with...it even had an option where the client could see how much time had been used, and had a link to a rudementary FAQ page...nice.... after upgrading to 2.9.10 that login page no ...
