The cookie works for trial logins as well.  I don't think there's any 
downside to upgrading that RB.

That's what I do at hotels.  I get the carrying case of shit devices or 
whatever.  I tend to update when there is multiple cases in a few 
hours/night.

Is there a better/different method for a simple 'click here to accept

[AFMUG] Mikrotik Hotspot pages

[Nate Burke]

I have a site that is using Mikrotik Hotspot for a disclaimer/TOS page.  
It has been in place for years, and it hasn't been broke, so I haven't 
fixed it, (ROS v5.0rc3).  The AP hardware has been upgraded, currently 
running ruckus XI-3 AP's.  Recently I'm hearing from the site about once 
a week that someone is either unable to accept the terms, or they accept 
the terms, it works for a few seconds then they get kicked off.  
Unfortunately there is nobody technical at the site, so tracking down 
exactly what is really happening is hard.  Every time I'm on site, I can 
connect/disconnect with my laptop/droid with no issues.  Have there been 
changes made to the Mikrotik hotspotting that would help newer devices 
connect or stay connected?  Reading through the Change Logs, it looks
