Here I will show the usage of RADIUSdesk as hotspot. The RADIUSdesk come equipped with Coova chilli hotspot installed. I will try it with windows XP VM. Then I will show you how to use it with MikroTik Hotspot and Radius Client where the hotspot will be authenticated from RADIUSdesk. I assume you have already followed my previous tutorial and have the Know how of MikroTik as well. So lets get to work :)
