04FAQ

Hotspot questions, answered.

Do I need MikroTik for a hotspot?

No — but we recommend it. MikroTik RouterOS includes a full Hotspot + UserManager for free, and scales from 20 users to thousands.

Can guests pay by mobile money?

Yes. We integrate M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa and Airtel Money via plugins on the captive portal for self-service voucher purchase.

How many APs do I need?

Depends on coverage and density. A typical hotel lobby + restaurant needs 3–4 enterprise APs; a 50-room hotel typically 8–12.

Can I get reports for owners?

Yes — daily/weekly/monthly CSV or PDF reports showing active users, bandwidth, and revenue per voucher batch.
