Hi All, Anyone here know much about Hotspot 2.0? It's some kind of wireless authentication scheme that is intended to support wide area handoff between disparate and independent wifi networks that has been billed by some as a "new generation of wifi access technology" I know that some vendors, like Ruckus in particular, have made a big deal of support for this functionality, and a recent question received by our sales team prompted me to ask MT whether there were any plans to implement Hotspot 2.0 for routerOS. Who can guess their reply?? :-D Regards, Mike Everest www.duxtel.com.au 138 Station Street, Norlane Victoria, 3214, AUSTRALIA 1300-DUXTEL (+61-3-5273-4905) ____________________________________________________________________________ ___ Wholesale Distributor for MikroTik and RouterBoard in Australia and Pacific Region ISP and WISP Solutions - Hardware, Software, Training, Engineering and Support All things MikroTik - http://shop.duxtel.com.au ____________________________________________________________________________ ___ Follow our tweets for news and updates: http://twitter.com/duxtel

Only one person willing to make a guess? Nice try Jason, but not the right answer :-D Here it is: "We already support that functionality since routerOS v6.11, but it is not yet documented and not yet available in the GUIs" Look at "interface wireless interworking-profiles ?" Now I don't profess to offer any warranty as to whether it adheres to the relevant standards, but according to MT, it is a working implementation of Hotspot2.0 There you go - leads me to wonder how many other hidden gems are already available in rOS that can only be discovered by working through the shell using liberal application of 'question mark'? Should we throw down a challenge to members of this list to find some more? ;) Cheers! Mike.

I've attended a few of the events they've had detailing the setup and seen it in use on a few android devices but not yet on iOS. To overly simplify what is quite a convoluted process.. in the expected use cases (if you're looking at the mobile to wireless handoff component) it requires the support of the mobile telco; you broadcast an SSID that the devices will automatically connect up to using credentials of the mobile account; relayed back to the mobile telco's auth servers via your 802.11u compliant hotspot. In turn you then give the device access or tunnel it back to a handoff point to the telco. - Andrew On Thu, Apr 21, 2016 at 10:14 AM, Mike Everest <mike@duxtel.com> wrote:
