How to Create a Hotspot
Easy way to setup Hotspot
Creating your own WiFi Hotspot is easier than you might think.
With Antamedia Cloud WiFi, you can quickly connect your network devices, configure your account, and start offering secure Internet access to your guests.
This guide walks you through the setup process step by step.
What You Need
Before you begin, make sure you have:
• A working Internet connection
• A router or access point that supports hotspot configuration
• An active Antamedia Cloud WiFi account (you can start with a free trial)
Step 1: Create Your Cloud WiFi Account
Visit Antamedia Cloud WiFi
Sign up for a free trial or log in if you already have an account
Once inside the dashboard, you’ll find options to add your first hotspot location
Tip: You can create multiple locations (e.g., hotel, café, school) and manage them all from a single account.
Step 2: Add a New Hotspot Location
From your dashboard, go to WiFi Locations / Add New
Enter your location name (for example, Hotel Lobby or Main Café WiFi)
Select your country and time zone
Save the configuration
Your hotspot is now created in the cloud and ready to connect with your router or access point.
Step 3: Connect Your Router or Access Point
Every hotspot needs a gateway device (router or AP) that redirects guests to the Cloud WiFi portal.
Log in to your router’s web interface
Enable Hotspot / Captive Portal mode
Enter the Cloud WiFi RADIUS settings provided in your account (Authentication IP, Secret, and NAS ID)
Save and reboot your router
