Turn off the IP pool setting in the Hotspot portal. Sounds like you don't need that silly universal login or whatever they call it. Just set it to none.
For me, I'd just be happy if Hotspot cookies even worked. They used to, but something changed about 2 years ago and although a cookie is set, the user still is forced to log in. By the way- what sort of CPEs are you using? I am using Pepwave/Peplink Surf series.

The wan is setup to use dhcp from the hotspot, which brings me to another question is why does the ip pool say they either got the ip address from dhcp or hotspot. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Andrew Cox <[email protected]> Reply-To: Mikrotik discussions <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2011 20:47:43 +1000 >You say the CPE's are in router mode, but are they using NAT or just routing >traffic? >If the later, each host behind the router will still be seen and need to >authenticate. > >- Andrew > > >On 7 October 2011 10:06, Stuart Pierce <[email protected]> wrote: > >> If you have got a hotspot, all cpe's in router mode and users >> have to login sometime to set a cookie. >> >> What makes a mac address have so many hosts or ip addresses that >> it wants to visit ? >> >> Shouldn't there be only one host ( the ip of the cpe router ) >> per cpe mac because the cpe is in router mode and the hotspot >> only knows and cares about the cpe's dhcp assigned ip address. >> >> >> >> >> ________________________________________________________________ >> Sent via the WebMail system at avolve.net >> >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Mikrotik mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://www.butchevans.com/mailman/listinfo/mikrotik >> >> Visit http://blog.butchevans.com/ for tutorials related to Mikrotik >> RouterOS >> >-------------- next part -------------- >An HTML attachment was scrubbed... >URL: <http://www.butchevans.com/pipermail/mikrotik/attachments/201110 07/46a68fa9/attachment.html> >_______________________________________________ >Mikrotik mailing list >[email protected] >http://www.butchevans.com/mailman/listinfo/mikrotik > >Visit http://blog.butchevans.com/ for tutorials related to Mikrotik RouterOS > ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at avolve.net _______________________________________________ Mikrotik mailing list [email protected] http://www.butchevans.com/mailman/listinfo/mikrotik Visit http://blog.butchevans.com/ for tutorials related to Mikrotik RouterOS _______________________________________________ Mikrotik mailing list [email protected] http://www.butchevans.com/mailman/listinfo/mikrotik Visit http://blog.butchevans.com/ for tutorials related to Mikrotik RouterOS
