The WiFi module lets you sell internet cards to your customers: each card has a duration, speed, and quota, and every sale is recorded in the shift. There are 3 ways to run it. Pick the one that fits your network in WiFi → Choose WiFi system.
| System | What it needs | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Lan WiFi | A local server PC with two network cards | When you don't want to buy a special router |
| OpenWrt | A router or access point running OpenWrt | Quick one-command setup and a cloud portal |
| MikroTik | A MikroTik router with Hotspot | Large networks and full control |
Lan WiFi (from the local server)
- Make sure the local server is running and online. Guide
- In Network Settings, choose the internet card (WAN) and the internal network card (LAN). They must be different.
- In Plans, create a plan: name, minutes, price, download and upload speed, and quota (0 = unlimited).
- In Portal Page, add the center name, logo, welcome message, offers, and a WhatsApp number.
- Start the portal, and sell cards from the dashboard. The code is 10 digits, and the timer starts on first use.
OpenWrt
- Click Activate OpenWrt. The account and access point are created automatically.
- Copy the Setup link command and run it on the router from the terminal.
- Enter the network name, password, venue name, and logo.
- Create plans (price, hours, GB, speed) and start selling.
MikroTik
- Make sure Hotspot is running on the router, and the local server is on the same network.
- Copy the Winbox script from the dashboard and run it on the router. It enables the API on port 8728 and creates a
ccuuser. - Enter the router IP, port, username, and password, and click Test connection.
- Create plans. Each card is created as a Hotspot user with an 8-digit code and time and data limits.
With MikroTik, a sale is recorded only after the router confirms the card was created, so no card is ever sold that doesn't work.
