Please write clearly, your 'question' is very hard to understand. If you're looking for expertise with a piece of hardware, I'd check the manufacturers site for it...this is Linux Questions, for questions related to LINUX....

Their website lists seminars all over the world...sign up for one.

I want to setup Hotspot for users to login to use internet. MikroTik official website will not teach you but give you the trick. That's why I'm here. Actually, MikroTik build on Linux OS. Some of the command is the same as Linux.

Actually MikroTik has a very good forum, I've been assisted numerous times over there. If nobody here can offer you any help, I'd go ask there.

It may be built on Linux, but isn't....it's a ROUTER. On their website, on the main page, the whole left column is related to training and seminars. If you want to learn about that OS, sign up for one.

But the course is very expensive. Reading the manual is not enough. It might be easy to who used to study Cisco. If someone interesting, you can download ISO image about 20MB, install and take a look. It might not more difficult than you learn linux.

No, thanks...I've got the routers/switches I need, and am already familiar with Cisco equipment. How I *GOT* familiar with it was reading the manual, experimenting with the commands, and taking classes. If you don't want to do any of that, how do you expect to learn?

The only way to learn is to put the effort in. Either read the manual and experiment, Google for things you don't understand, and figure it out, or pay for the books/classes, and learn that way.

There is a number of resources, the on-line manual is good if you like Lativan, however, you can get the "Learn RouterOS" book at routerosbook.com. Plenty of consultants as well, linktechs.net is my page, but there are plenty others as well!

Many people have invested their time and energy into this! I understand that! Those that do not, you shoud just hire someone to help you out.

I agree totally. If someone doesn't want to put the effort into learning themselves via the manuals and experimentation, or pay for a class, they need to hire it out.

I used to work at a Hungarian ISP and we used Mikrotik as a primary router sw for about 250 clients.

This is far away from linux I'd say that. You need deep knowledge in routing(Cisco CCNA second semester) as well as figure mikrotik out too.

Only way to learn it is that buy antennas and mikrotiks and start using them to figure those out. Take a look the mikrotik's forum the config files and problems that is the best way I think.

Laz.

Totally agree. I actually put on Webinar training sessions www.onlinemikrotiktraining.com, as well as wrote a book on it, and do more consulting on RouterOS and Mikrotik than most people on the planet. We do ISPs and WISPs with 50-80,000k customers some upwards of 2Gig in bandwidth. Full BGP routes, no problem. Its all in the hardware! Speaking of that we make that as well. www.mikrotikrouter.com. But regardless, get some help if you don't know what you are doing, it always costs more to try to figure it out vs just getting it done.

Hi guys,

I don't know very well mikrotik router os, but from my short experience about it I can say that is so far to be friendly I struggeled all the time to find out how to configure the hotspot capability and freeradius interoperability. So at the end I decided to go for chillispot on ubiquiti devices www.3ts.it and for Zeroshell http://www.zeroshell.net as freeradius platform.

This solution is working fairly good on wisp scenario.
