I've never found a reason to use hotspot in a fixed environment. Billing suspension without hotspot should be easy. Radius server sends a "Mikrotik-Address-List" attribute that puts that customer into a "suspend" list. Addresses in that suspend address list get redirected to the on-Mikrotik proxy. That proxy is configured to only allow people to go to their billing system.

Kind of a halfway house to pppoe with less work. Eventually we'll do the whole thing but with thousands of customers that takes time. Without hotspot (where the billing system authenticates like radius) auto-suspends don't happen and we get 50-100 payment suspends a day that we have to support manually so we're very motivated to get the whole network under radius MAC authentication and eventually full billing control from PPPoe.

Once I asked him and he said "oh I turned that AP into a hotspot last week" we checked the MAC and sure enough, wrong. Embarrassing I didn't think of that before posting this, I blame the heat... You're gear is working great as always. Thanks, Forbes On 7/31/2018 11:36 AM, James Craig via Ubnt_users wrote: <blockquote> Hi Forbes, Are you seeing this on AC APs only? What TDD Framing option are you using on the AC APs? Please try to grab the Support Info file from one of these CPEs (and AP) and send to me offlist ( ja...@ubnt.com ) The 6.1.8 beta branch has some stability improvements that could help here, but that wouldn't explain AC stations seeing the same symptoms.

They can get into AirOS and even select and change AP's but still they come up again showing their correct IP on the AP yet again no ping, no access, no Internet for them. Some or AC radios, some older, doesn't seem to discriminate. Floor is about -90 and the last one was -74, not bad enough to be lost in the noise. Typical power cycle, etc. offers no solution. This has happened 5 times (most using 6.16) in the past few days, a disturbing trend that we will now have to do a truck roll on. Any ideas?
