Welcome to the Easy-HotSpot wiki!

Easy HotSpot, A super easy WiFi hotspot user management utility for Mikrotik RouterOS based Router devices and works using the PHP PEAR2 API client by boenrobot.

This PHP/MySql/Bootstrap based package can be installed in any supporting OS in a local webserver of the client or in any internet based webservers for use. Put the contents/source code in the root or in a sub folder of the host/domain, as per the requirement.

A MySql database need to be created in order to work, but the package will create the database, if one doesn't exist on initialisation. The details of the database need to be given in the dbconfig.php file by editing it. The details of the router device also need to be entered in the config.php file prior to operations.

Easy HotSpot is suitable for WiFi hotspots of any size and capacity like small internet caffes to Hotels and Resorts and Educational institutions like Colleges/Universities, or Giant corporate houses employing 1000’s of simultaneous users in one location.
