Running a WiFi hotspot is always a challange, but at the same time it is a source to make a good revenue specially in areas where internet connection is not available.
For this reason, I have decided to record this course speaking about the excellent WiFi hostspot mangement software which is Powerlynx.
NOTE: This course is fully sponsored and accredited by Powerlynx company (its other name is Splynx) and it has been approved by them. Powerlynx will distribute this course to its customers who are using Powerlynx in order for them to have a step by step tutorial of their software.
Back to Powerlynx, it is a hotspot management software on the cloud in which you can add as many hotspots you want and to make them all configured in one software.
The beaty of Powerlynx is its simplicity and its richness as for the available features. Think of a customized splash page, SMS gateway, Stripe and Paypal possible payments, possibility to make adverstiment on the WiFi hotspot using a video or an image, possibility to let your connected customers be notified whenever they reach close to their bandwidth threshold, etc...
All those features and much more are on Powerlynx.
In this course, I am going to work on MikroTik with Powerlynx as MikroTik is being recommended by Powerlynx.
Finally, if you wish to have a complete solution for WiFi hotspot and be able to configure Powerlynx correct, then this course is for you.
