Router fields and CSV import details

The Routers page is critical because every platform action depends on the selected router.

Router fields

Name is required, max 64 characters, and accepts Arabic/English letters, numbers, spaces, underscore, dot, and dash.

IP / Host is required. Enter only an IP or hostname, such as 10.10.20.2 or router.example.com. Do not enter http://, https://, or paths.

API Username is required. API Password is required for new routers, but optional when editing. If left blank while editing, the old password remains.

Hotspot Name, DNS Name, Phone, Email, and Info Link are optional. Currency is optional, max 10 characters. Idle Timeout is required from 1 to 1440 minutes. Logo must be PNG up to 1024 KB.

Router actions

Select makes the router active. Test Connection verifies MikroTik reachability and credentials. Re-bind should be used only for an intentional device swap.

CSV import

Required columns:

name, host, api_username, api_password

Useful optional columns:

name_ar, hotspot_name, dns_name, currency, phone, email, info_link

Common errors:

• The file has no data rows.
• Invalid host.
• A router with this IP/host already exists.
• Duplicate IP/host inside the file.
• Fix the invalid rows first.
• This import would exceed your router limit.

Existing MikroTik detected

Restore previous record keeps the old history and updates connection details. Keep as fresh router creates a separate router record.
