What happens when you click it
It is not a template that gets pasted over your router. MikroMan connects over the RouterOS API and reads what is actually there first — every bridge, IP address, pool, DHCP server, hotspot server and PPP profile. Then it picks an IP range that collides with none of them, and creates only the pieces that are missing. If you already have a hotspot, it adds what is absent and leaves the rest alone. Every step is reported back as created or skipped, so you can see exactly what changed on your router — and undo it in Winbox if you ever want to.
1. It reads the router first
Bridges, IP addresses, pools, DHCP servers, hotspot servers and PPP profiles are listed before anything is written. This is what makes it safe to run on a router you have already half-configured — and how it knows which IP range is free.
2. It builds the whole chain
Bridge, your LAN and WLAN ports moved into it, IP address, pool, DHCP server with DNS, hotspot server on the bridge (never on a port or the WAN), server profile, user profiles and a separate free zone — created in the correct order, in one pass.
3. Nothing existing is overwritten
Anything already present is skipped and reported as skipped. Your current hotspot, your PPPoE customers and your firewall rules are untouched. It is additive by design, because the alternative is a support ticket at 2am.
4. Repeat it on every router
The second router takes the same twenty seconds as the first. For an operator adding shops, this is the difference between an afternoon in Winbox and a coffee break — and every router ends up configured identically, which is what makes them supportable later.

One-click setup FAQ
Is it safe to run on a router that already has a hotspot?
Yes. It scans first and only creates what is missing — anything already there is skipped and reported as skipped. It never deletes or rewrites existing configuration, so on a half-configured router it fills the gaps rather than starting over. Every action is listed afterwards so you can see precisely what changed.
How does it choose the IP range?
It reads every IP address and pool already on the router, then picks a preset range that overlaps none of them. This is the step people most often get wrong by hand — choosing 192.168.88.0/24 on a router that already uses it produces a hotspot that half works and is painful to diagnose.
Do I need Winbox at all?
No. Adding your LAN and WLAN ports to the new bridge used to be the one step that had to be done by hand — MikroMan now does it for you. It reads every interface first and only moves ports that are safe: never the WAN carrying your default route, never a port already in another bridge, and never one holding its own IP address. You see the exact list before you click, and you can override it.
Does it work on RouterOS 6 and 7?
Yes, both. The panel detects the version and adjusts. On RouterOS 7 there is one thing it cannot do for you: if device mode is blocking the hotspot service, that requires physical confirmation on the router itself — a reset-button press or a power cycle. The panel tells you when that is the blocker instead of failing silently.
What if my router has no public IP?
It still works. Routers behind CGNAT connect out to MikroMan through a built-in VPN tunnel, and auto-setup runs over that tunnel exactly as it would over a public IP. You do not need port forwarding, DDNS or a VPS.
Can it set up PPPoE as well?
Yes. The same one-click flow builds a PPPoE server instead: bridge, IP pool, PPP profile with your rate limit, the PPPoE server itself and NAT. Useful when you are onboarding monthly customers rather than selling vouchers.
Which plan includes one-click setup?
Auto-setup is part of the Enterprise plan. It changes the core network configuration of a router, which is a different level of access from issuing vouchers, and it is the feature that saves an operator the most time when adding routers. Every plan can still configure a hotspot manually and use the full step-by-step guide.
What if I want to choose the IP ranges myself?
You can. The manual path is still there — pick your own hotspot and free-zone CIDRs, bridge names, DNS servers and PPPoE rate limit, and the panel builds exactly that. One-click is the default because the scanned ranges are almost always the right answer, not because the choice was removed.
Stop configuring routers by hand
Add a router, click once, and have a working hotspot — bridge, DHCP, captive portal, profiles and free zone — before your coffee gets cold. On RouterOS 6 and 7, with or without a public IP.
