Why take this course?

Have you ever been in a cafe, restaurant or a park where they offer internet on wireless? You normally get connected to their Wi-Fi and it is mostly asking you to enter a username and a password to be able to get access to the internet - This is what a hotspot is.

You, as a MikroTik network engineer, may be asked to install and configure a Wireless hotspot in your company or at your customer place and things look too complicated to you to do this task. This course will help to go step by step using a lot of LABs to understand how to install a wireless hotspot and what are the best tips needed to be used to have the hotspot working well.

In this course, I will start installing the hotspot from scratch and I will go through all the options available in the hotspot. Things like user management, profiles, bandwidth limitation, Walled garden, hotspot advertisement, IP binding, connecting the hotspot to the user Manager, generating vouchers for users and many other topics will be covered in this course so you have the full knowledge of how to configure the wireless hotspot when being asked.

The course will be based on LABs to make things very easy to you when you want to deploy this in your real network. The LABs are designed on step-by-step methodology which is always used in all my courses.

If you are interested to learn how to configure wireless hotspot on MikroTik, then join me in this course and let's get started.

The course clearly addresses the main topics of mikrotik hot spots, I understood many operational and practical aspects. I encountered difficulties in following the course due to my poor knowledge of the English language and unfortunately the sub-titles often provide incorrect transcripts, but I don't think this is due to the teacher.

I love the way he uses labs with step-by-step checklists. I also enjoy how he goes into detailed explanations about why he does things the way he does it, and what each setting means. It helps me understand and grasp the whole concept better.

Brilliantly detailed. Huge amount of useful data and each setting is verified. All of the IP>Hotspot>Sections along with a few other concepts such as firewall address lists is detailed here. Audio quality a bit low at times though.

Great course. I would have liked to see more about user-manager not just how to use user manager for hotspot. But user-manager for VPN, router login, website authentication etc.

Clear and concise, very well explained. Covers the basics of Mikrotik Hotspot but it will be enough to give you a good understanding on how it works and enough knowledge to get you going. The Radius Server (user manager) section was explained very well.

Its a basic course. The instructor does explains well what he has set up to explain but he is not very helpful above and beyond the exact written curriculum of the course, even for related topics.
