MikroTik hotspot billing made simple

Follow this step-by-step setup sequence to connect your MikroTik router to HotspotBoss and start issuing vouchers immediately.

Router setup

  1. Open Winbox or WebFig and connect to your MikroTik device.
  2. Create or confirm a working Hotspot server under IP > Hotspot.
  3. Verify your hotspot profile and ensure the DHCP and bridge settings match your guest network.
  4. Test local login to confirm the hotspot captures user login traffic.
Billing connection

Add your MikroTik API credentials to HotspotBoss. The panel uses those credentials to create users and activate vouchers automatically.

Voucher activation

When a customer pays through MTN/Airtel, the system generates a voucher and sends the login data to MikroTik.

Owner tracking

HotspotBoss links each sale to the registered owner, allowing accurate payouts and commission tracking.
