Wi-Fi HotSpot 1.5.11 Update: new design, enhanced stability, and customization

The module easily integrates into the operator’s infrastructure and can be flexibly configured for various use cases. Typical scenarios include a guest network in a cafe or hotel with phone number authorization, temporary access for employees with speed and time limits, as well as authorization via promo codes at events or shopping centers.

Thanks to this flexibility, the Wi-Fi HotSpot can be adapted for a wide range of tasks — from marketing to enhancing security. Read more about the module’s operating principles and features in the documentation.

With the release of version 1.5.11, the module received significant improvements in design, stability, and customization, especially on mobile devices. This article takes a detailed look at the new features included in the Wi-Fi HotSpot update and how they can enhance both user and administrator experience.

Main Changes

1. Redesigned Portal

One of the key updates is the new Wi-Fi HotSpot portal design. The interface is now more modern, adaptive, and user-friendly. Thanks to an improved UX approach, authorization pages now load faster, the design displays correctly on all screen resolutions, and visual elements have become cleaner and more intuitive.

2. Improved Portal Stability on Mobile Browsers

Version 1.5.11 fixes display and functionality issues of the authorization portal on iOS and Android:

• fixed scaling errors;
• enhanced compatibility with various browsers;
• ensured stable animation and transition performance.

This is critical for scenarios where the main traffic comes from mobile users, such as cafes, hotels, or shopping centers.

3. CSS Customization

Flexible HotSpot customization is now available through editing the file /var/www/html/wifi_hotspot/frontend/hotspot_custom.css. You can:

• change fonts, colors, and backgrounds;
• set your own styles for buttons and fields;
• adapt the interface to your corporate style.

Example:

```css
.btn-primary {
  background-color: #005bbb;
  font-weight: bold;
  border-radius: 8px;
}
```

This approach simplifies branding and makes the portal easily recognizable.

4. Localization Improvements

Significant improvements have been made to interface localizations: translations were updated and unified in style, language display errors fixed, and missing phrases added for some languages. Proper localization is especially important for operators with a wide geographic presence and for guest Wi-Fi networks.

5. Bug Fixes

The Wi-Fi HotSpot update resolves a number of accumulated bugs:

• style loading issues;
• incorrect operation in older versions of DPIUI2;
• minor errors in display logic and authorization.

All of this has improved the module’s stability and reliability.

6. Compatibility with DPIUI2 Version 2.36.17 and Above

To fully operate the new Wi-Fi HotSpot version 1.5.11, it is necessary to use the DPIUI2 management interface version 2.36.17 or higher. This ensures correct display of all new parameters, stable integration with customization mechanisms, and error-free session management.
