MikroTik

I bought a 450g, tomorow im getting a power supply for it.

My goal is to create a captive portal for 20users, where do i start?

thanks

I believe you will want to setup a "hotspot" on your Mikrotik. The Mikrotik Wiki at http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Main_Page will be a good place to start:

HotSpot will certainly do it.

If it's just 20 clients, and will never be more, you might find it easier to just add the users under IP->Hotspot->Users(tab)

That will be a pretty quick start for you.

If it will definiately grow > 20 users soon, then you will save yourself a lot of hassle by learning Usermanager early on - like *before* people start using your HotSpot.

If you plan to change the default Splash page (which you will), just be aware that when you change the Splash page HTML, make absolutely sure that you do not accidentally get a line-break in ny of the $(...) parts.

$(login-only)
is not the same as
($login-
only)

Your favourite web page editor might do that for you, which is a pain.

Done it, working great, with hotspot.

thanks

Woohooo !

A Sucess Story !

Congratulations, and well done.
