Mac authentication with Mikrotik for HotSpot user

Mac authentication with Mikrotik


How do I use Mac authentication with Mikrotik?
Using mac authentication you can provide free access to a device without it going through the splash page.
First you have to create a user with the username that will be his wireless mac address, and a password which is set to "password".
Click IP-HOTSPOT-USERS. Click add user.
The name field should be the wireless mac address of the device that you want to bypass the splash page.
The password field should be set to "password".


Click SERVER PROFILES, still under the hotspot section. Double click the current profile in use and under the login tab find the field "mac auth. password". Fill in "password"  for this field.

  1. Hello bro, I m using RB750 in my wireless network. But some of my client can not log in because when they enter their ID & password, login page come again. It is happened for those users who r in bridged with Range Extender. otherwise, who r direct connected with wifi router,they do not face this problem. Please tell me what should i do?
