Guest WiFi MVP: MikroTik-Powered Hotel WiFi
2 min read

What's New

HotelSmarters launches the first Guest WiFi MVP, integrated with MikroTik infrastructure.

What It Does

  • Hotel-branded access — guests connect through a WiFi portal branded to the hotel's identity, rather than a generic network login screen.
  • Guest authentication — guests authenticate with their stay details (room number and last name), validated against the hotel's check-in records, so only checked-in guests get access.
  • Captive portal — guests are redirected to the branded captive portal when they connect, complete authentication there, and get full internet access once login succeeds. Hotels can also display a custom welcome message or promo on the portal after login.
  • Router preconfiguration — each hotel receives a MikroTik router that's preconfigured and plug-and-play ready, so WiFi setup doesn't require on-site IT staff.
  • Connected-device management — guests and admins get visibility into and control over the devices connected under a guest's WiFi account.
  • Speed control with upsell — guests can select or upgrade their connection speed tier, with an option to pay for faster access.

Why It Matters

Guests get fast, secure, branded WiFi access tied directly to their stay, with no generic login screens or extra setup steps.

Hotels get plug-and-play router deployment without needing technical staff on-site, plus a new upsell option through speed tier upgrades.
