Use WPA2 network with hotspot credentials
ℹ️ Info: This script can not be used on its own but requires the base installation. See main README for details.
Description
RouterOS supports an unlimited number of MAC address specific passphrases for WPA2 encrypted wifi networks via access list. The idea of this script is to transfer hotspot credentials to MAC address specific WPA2 passphrase.
Requirements and installation
You need a properly configured hotspot on one (open) SSID and a WP2 enabled
SSID with suffix "-wpa".
Then install the script. Depending on whether you use wifiwave2 package
(/interface/wifiwave2) or legacy wifi with CAPsMAN (/caps-man) you need
to install a different script and set it as on-login script in hotspot.
For wifiwave2:
$ScriptInstallUpdate hotspot-to-wpa.wifiwave2;
/ip/hotspot/user/profile/set on-login="hotspot-to-wpa.wifiwave2" [ find ];
For legacy CAPsMAN:
$ScriptInstallUpdate hotspot-to-wpa.capsman;
/ip/hotspot/user/profile/set on-login="hotspot-to-wpa.capsman" [ find ];
Automatic cleanup
With just hotspot-to-wpa installed the mac addresses will last in the
access list forever. Install the optional script for automatic cleanup
and add a scheduler.
For wifiwave2:
$ScriptInstallUpdate hotspot-to-wpa-cleanup.wifiwave2,lease-script;
/system/scheduler/add interval=1d name=hotspot-to-wpa-cleanup on-event="/system/script/run hotspot-to-wpa-cleanup.wifiwave2;" start-time=startup;
For legacy CAPsMAN:
$ScriptInstallUpdate hotspot-to-wpa-cleanup.capsman,lease-script;
/system/scheduler/add interval=1d name=hotspot-to-wpa-cleanup on-event="/system/script/run hotspot-to-wpa-cleanup.capsman;" start-time=startup;
And add the lease script and matcher comment to your wpa interfaces' dhcp
server. You can add more information to the comment, separated by comma. In
this example the server is called hotspot-to-wpa.
/ip/dhcp-server/set lease-script=lease-script comment="hotspot-to-wpa=wpa" hotspot-to-wpa;
You can specify the timeout after which a device is removed from leases and access-list. The default is four weeks.
/ip/dhcp-server/set lease-script=lease-script comment="hotspot-to-wpa=wpa, timeout=2w" hotspot-to-wpa;
Configuration
On first run a disabled access list entry acting as marker (with comment
"--- hotspot-to-wpa above ---") is added. Move this entry to define where new
entries are to be added.
Create hotspot login credentials:
/ip/hotspot/user/add comment="Test User 1" name=user1 password=v3ry;
/ip/hotspot/user/add comment="Test User 2" name=user2 password=s3cr3t;
This also works with authentication via radius, but is limited then: Additional information is not available, including the password.
Additionally templates can be created to give more options for access list:
action: set torejectto ignore logins on that hotspotprivate-passphrase: do not use passphrase from hotspot's user credentials, but given one - or unset (use default passphrase) with special wordignoressid-regexp: set a different SSID regular expression to matchvlan-id: connect device to specific VLANvlan-mode: set the VLAN mode for device
For a hotspot called example the template could look like this. For
wifiwave2:
/interface/wifiwave2/access-list/add comment="hotspot-to-wpa template example" disabled=yes private-passphrase="ignore" ssid-regexp="^example\$" vlan-id=10;
For legacy CAPsMAN:
/caps-man/access-list/add comment="hotspot-to-wpa template example" disabled=yes private-passphrase="ignore" ssid-regexp="^example\$" vlan-id=10 vlan-mode=use-tag;
The same settings are available in hotspot user's comment and take precedence over the template settings:
/ip/hotspot/user/add comment="private-passphrase=ignore, ssid-regexp=^example\\\$, vlan-id=10, vlan-mode=use-tag" name=user password=v3ry-s3cr3t;
Usage and invocation
Now let the users connect and login to the hotspot. After that the devices (identified by MAC address) can connect to the WPA2 network, using the passphrase from hotspot credentials.
