Implementation of a Mikrotik RouterOS-Based Voucher Hotspot System for Internet Access Management in LAN Networks
Keywords:
Mikrotik RouterOS, Network ManagementAbstract
The development of information technology requires fast, efficient, and secure internet access in local area networks (LAN). However, without a good management system, networks often experience misuse of access and bandwidth waste. Mikrotik RouterOS with its Hotspot Voucher feature offers a solution to centrally manage, limit, and monitor internet usage. This study aims to implement and evaluate a voucher-based hotspot system on Mikrotik RouterOS to improve the efficiency of internet access management in LAN networks. The study uses an experimental method with a quantitative approach. The system was designed using a star topology, implemented on Mikrotik RouterOS devices, and tested through measurements of speed, connection stability, and bandwidth usage efficiency using iPerf and Speedtest. The system implementation showed an increase in bandwidth efficiency from 70% to 92%, with average speeds according to the voucher profile (0.46–1.94 Mbps), latency of 18–32 ms, and packet loss below 1%. The voucher-based authentication system proved to be effective in regulating access time and speed while improving network security through user restrictions and real-time activity monitoring. The Mikrotik RouterOS-based voucher hotspot system successfully improved network efficiency and security, while also providing ease of management for administrators. Further research is recommended to integrate this system with cloud-based management to expand scalability and network monitoring automation.
