    I heard mikrotik hot-spot can be hacked easily. People can know which IP and mac is existing network by ‘angry IP scanner’and they can make change in there own device and get access. There is also browser called as “mortor” which can bypass security. Is there any solution? How can I secure hot-spot?

    • I cannot find “mortor” browser. Please give any link on this browser. Secondly, knowing MAC and IP, you cannot login hotspot. You must have username and password to get internet through hotspot. Brother configure your hotspot and try to hack. if you are successful, you will know how to make secure your hotspot and also share your knowledge with me. Thanks.

  • Sir,

    Hello Sayeed good day! if im using Haplite i can still do a hotspot in our house? what things i need for hotspot?

  • Avatar for gaston gaston

    Hi Mr Sayeed. Thank you for explanation. I follow your instruction step by step to setup my hotspot. but when the user log in throughout the hotspot, he can’t have inertnet. so what is missing ?

  • Avatar for Hennie Hennie

    Hallo – love your guides. If I have a basic Hotspot setup and the location I have is too big to be covered by just one Access Point. How do I add another access point (say a Mikrotik hap mini) in another location via ethernet cable? But I want the second Mikrotik to use the ‘main’ routers hotspot settings and users with same DHCP range. (Will not be using userman). Any ideas will be appreciated.

    Hi Sayeed, thanks for the lovely tutorials on Mikrotik. How can I block certain hotspot users from particular websites using the firewall?
