How to Set Up a Wi-Fi Login Portal on MikroTik Routers

MikroTik routers are powerful tools for creating customized Wi-Fi login portals, perfect for enhancing guest access and securing your network. Here’s how to set up a Wi-Fi login portal using MikroTik’s capabilities.

Step 1: Access Your MikroTik Router

Log in to your MikroTik router using WinBox or the web interface. Use the admin credentials provided during the initial setup.

Step 2: Configure a Guest Wi-Fi Network

  1. Go to Wireless > Wi-Fi Interfaces and create a new Wi-Fi network.
  2. Assign a name (SSID) like "Greensea Guest Wi-Fi" and configure basic settings like channel and frequency.
  3. Enable security options (e.g., WPA2) to ensure a secure connection.

Step 3: Enable Hotspot Functionality

  1. Open the IP > Hotspot menu and click Setup to launch the Hotspot Wizard.
  2. Select the interface for your guest network and follow the steps to set up:
    • Assign an IP pool for guest devices.
    • Configure a DNS name for the hotspot.
  3. Create a login page using MikroTik’s default templates or customize one with your brand elements.

Step 4: Customize User Authentication

MikroTik offers several authentication options:

  • Username and Password: Ideal for controlled access.
  • Voucher Codes: Generate unique codes for users.
  • Social Media Login: Integrate with third-party services for seamless access.

Step 5: Set Bandwidth Limits

In the Queues menu, define upload and download limits for the guest network to avoid overloading your main network.

Step 6: Test and Launch

Before going live, test the guest network on a device to verify the login process, speed limits, and portal behavior.
