Authenticate subscribers straight off your own MikroTik router
No separate RADIUS server. No daloRADIUS admin. No extra line item. Router Connect is a free, native KESHO capability built for the ISP that already standardised on MikroTik and wants subscriber authentication to just work.
Built for ISPs who don't want to run a RADIUS server
Zero extra cost
No separate RADIUS server to host, patch, or pay for - it runs on the MikroTik router your ISP already owns.
Automatic, not manual
On/off and speed changes fire the instant they happen in KESHO. RADIUS sync today is a button someone has to remember to click.
Never risks existing service
Your RADIUS accounts are never touched when Router Connect is switched on - reverting is a single flag flip, with zero data loss, any time.
One-click switchover
A single button switches your account default between RADIUS and Router Connect, in either direction - the closest thing to a failover control without needing a second server.
Live in about five minutes
Add your router
Enter your MikroTik's IP and a dedicated API user's credentials directly on the Router Connect page - a built-in step-by-step guide covers the exact Winbox settings needed, no external docs required.
Pick your mode
Switch your whole account default to Router Connect, or test it on one subscriber first while everyone else stays on RADIUS - your choice, reversible any time.
It runs itself
Activation, suspension, and speed changes sync to the router the moment they happen in KESHO - the same manual RADIUS "Sync" click your team clicks today simply isn't needed anymore.
Router Connect vs RADIUS as a Service
RADIUS stays fully supported for every tenant that needs multi-vendor networks or detailed usage accounting - Router Connect is the lighter option for everyone else.
| RADIUS | Router Connect | |
|---|---|---|
| Infrastructure | Separate FreeRADIUS server | None - uses the router you already own |
| Setup skill required | RADIUS / daloRADIUS administration | MikroTik only - already the market's default |
| Ongoing cost | Server hosting, patching, monitoring | None |
| On/off automation | Manual sync today | Automatic - wired into activation/suspension |
| Package → speed | Manual RADIUS group mapping | Automatic from the package's own speed field |
| Mid-session disconnect | RADIUS CoA | RouterOS API kick - built in |
| Best fit | Multi-vendor networks; detailed accounting | Small, MikroTik-only ISPs; cost-sensitive rollouts |
RADIUS as a Service is still here
Whether you already have a RADIUS platform or need one, KESHO has you covered - we integrate with your existing RADIUS infrastructure, or provide a fully managed RADIUS service with subscriber authentication, PPPoE management, and optional accounting and billing. See RADIUS as a Service →
