Guest Wi-Fi and Useroam Connection

This page covers two guest-network screens: Guest Wi-Fi, the network guests connect to, and Useroam Connection, which shows whether sign-ins are reaching Useroam.

1. Guest Wi-Fi

How do I open it? MikroTik Management → GUEST NETWORK → Guest Wi-Fi.

MikroTik Management – Guest Wi-Fi

The screen has four sections:

Guest Wi-Fi servers

The hotspot servers defined on the device.

Guests connected right now

Devices currently on the network. When you want to block a guest, this is where you copy the MAC address from.

Guest accounts

Hotspot users defined on the device. A new account takes three fields:

Username
Password
Profile (may be left empty)

IP and MAC permissions

Sets how specific addresses behave on the network. Type takes three values:

bypassed: Passes through without signing in.
blocked: Blocked.
regular: Normal sign-in required.

A separate Addresses reachable without signing in section holds the addresses a guest may reach before authenticating (a payment provider or your own site, for instance).

2. Useroam Connection

How do I open it? MikroTik Management → GUEST NETWORK → Useroam Connection.

The screen where you check whether guest Wi-Fi sign-ins are reaching Useroam's records. If the device is unreachable, the top reads "Status could not be read — the Useroam connection could not be checked because the device could not be reached."

RADIUS servers

Lists the RADIUS servers defined on the device. A new server takes three fields:

The shared secret is never displayed, for security. If you lose it, you have to enter it again.

Guest Wi-Fi profiles

Lists the hotspot profiles, so you can confirm which profile RADIUS is working through.
