Frequently Asked Questions
How does Captivo work with MikroTik?
You design your branded portal in Captivo, download the MikroTik Hotspot template (ZIP) from Settings → Portal and upload it to your router's hotspot directory. You configure MikroTik to authenticate against Captivo RADIUS. The guest logs in with their phone/voucher and authentication happens through MikroTik.
Is MikroTik support production-ready?
MikroTik Hotspot integration is fully supported — both PAP and CHAP password verification methods are verified on real hardware. Step-by-step setup (RADIUS, Walled Garden, uploading the template, NAS-Identifier) is in the in-app documentation, just like pfSense and OPNsense.
Any difference vs pfSense/OPNsense?
The guest experience and features are the same (SMS, voucher, hotel login, compliant logging). The difference is how the login page connects to the router: for MikroTik the Hotspot template is uploaded to the router and the form posts to MikroTik's own login URL.
