IP & MAC Address Bindings
IP Bindings let you permanently assign a specific plan to a device identified by its MAC address or IP address. The device is automatically logged in whenever it connects — no voucher code or password required. Ideal for fixed devices like shop computers, CCTV recorders, or office workstations.
1
Create a binding
Go to IP Bindings → Create Binding. Select the router, then click Load Connected Devices to see all currently connected or recently-seen devices on that router. Pick the device from the list (or enter the MAC/IP manually), choose the plan, and optionally set an expiry date.
2
Auto-login by MAC
Once saved, the system creates a hotspot host entry on the router that automatically authenticates that MAC address. The device connects to WiFi and gets internet access without any login page — the router recognises it by MAC and applies the bound plan's rate limits.
3
Set an expiry and SMS reminder
Optionally set an expiry date for the binding (e.g. end of a prepaid month). Enable the SMS Reminder flag to automatically send an SMS to the client's phone number 24 hours before the binding expires.
4
Edit or remove
Bindings can be edited (change plan or expiry) or deleted. Deleting a binding removes the hotspot host entry from the router — the device will see the captive portal again on its next connection.
Tip: The Load Connected Devices button fetches the live ARP and DHCP lease tables directly from the router, so you can create a binding for a device that is currently connected without needing to know its MAC address in advance.
