As a network administrator, one of the first tasks I encountered was setting up the login page for MikroTik routers. The login page acts as a gateway for users to access and manage the router’s settings. In this article, I will guide you through the process of creating and customizing a MikroTik login page.

Getting Started

Before diving into the technical details, let’s take a moment to understand the importance of a login page. Apart from providing a secure way for users to access the router, a well-designed login page can also serve as a branding opportunity. It allows you to tailor the user experience and create a professional image for your organization.

To begin, ensure that you have access to the MikroTik router’s interface. Open your preferred web browser and enter the URL of the router. This usually starts with 192.168.88.1 or 192.168.1.1. Press Enter and you will be directed to the MikroTik login page.

Customizing the Login Page

By default, the MikroTik login page has a simple design, but you have the option to customize it according to your preferences. Let’s explore the various customization options:

1. Changing the Logo

If you want to add a personal touch to the login page, you can replace the default MikroTik logo with your own. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Choose a logo image that you want to use. Make sure it is in a supported format such as PNG or JPG.
  2. Access the MikroTik router’s web interface and go to the “Files” menu.
  3. Upload your logo image to the router’s files.
  4. Next, navigate to the “Hotspot” menu and select “Server Profiles”.
  5. Choose the server profile you want to modify and click on the “HTML” tab.
  6. Find the line that contains the logo image URL and replace it with the URL of your uploaded logo image.
  7. Save the changes and navigate to the login page to see your customized logo.

2. Changing Colors and Fonts

To further personalize the login page, you can modify the colors and fonts used. This can help align the login page with your organization’s branding. Follow these steps to make these changes:

  1. Access the MikroTik router’s web interface and go to the “Hotspot” menu.
  2. Select “Server Profiles” and choose the server profile you want to modify.
  3. Click on the “HTML” tab and find the section that contains the CSS code.
  4. Modify the CSS code to change the colors, fonts, and other visual elements.
  5. Save the changes and refresh the login page to see the updated design.

Conclusion

Customizing the MikroTik login page is not only a practical step for securing your network but also an opportunity to showcase your organization’s identity. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can create a login page that reflects your personal preferences and branding.
