    Hotspot Plans

    Create and manage hotspot plans in Jasiyo — pricing, session duration, speed limits, and how plans appear on the captive portal.

    Creating a hotspot plan

    Go to Plans → Add Plan in your dashboard and select Hotspot as the plan type. Fill in the fields and save — Jasiyo will push the profile to your router automatically.

    Plan fields explained

    How plans appear on the captive portal

    All active hotspot plans for a router are displayed as cards on the captive portal, sorted by price. Each card shows the plan name, duration, and price. Customers tap the card they want and proceed to M-Pesa payment.

    Only plans marked as Active appear on the portal. Deactivate one to hide it temporarily without deleting it.
    Leaving both speeds blank means unlimited. On a router running RouterOS 6 that also means unshaped and unmetered, so one customer on a "cheap" plan can take the whole line and a data cap will not stop them. Always set a speed on plans you actually sell.

    A new plan reaches your router a moment after you save it, not instantly. If one is not behaving as expected on the portal, give it a minute before assuming something is wrong.
