PPPoE Service
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) lets clients authenticate with a username and password directly at the network level — no browser captive portal involved. It is used for fixed-line broadband connections where a CPE device dials in.
1
Enable PPPoE on a router
On the router's Setup tab → Service Configuration, tick PPPoE alongside or instead of Hotspot. Click Apply — the system provisions a separate PPPoE server and address pool on the router.
2
Create a PPPoE plan
In Plans → Create Plan, choose PPPoE as the plan type. Set the price, duration, and speed limits. PPPoE plans appear in the subscriber creation form when the router supports PPPoE.
3
Create subscribers
Go to Users → Create User, select the PPPoE router and plan. The system creates RADIUS credentials and adds the PPPoE user. Share the username and password with the client to configure on their CPE/router.
4
Monitor active PPPoE sessions
The Active Users page shows PPPoE sessions alongside hotspot sessions. Each PPPoE session shows the client's assigned IP address, connection uptime, and upload/download counters.
Hotspot and PPPoE together: A single router can run both services simultaneously on different interfaces. The system uses a separate IP pool for each service to avoid conflicts.
