Hostel & PG WiFi System — Fair Speed for Every Room

Every PG owner in Ahmedabad, Pune or Rajkot knows the nightly WiFi war. Forty students share a 100 Mbps line; three of them download games and stream matches, and the other thirty-seven message the owner at 11 PM saying the internet is dead. The owner's only tools are restarting the router and threatening to change the password. Some try charging ₹300-₹500 per student per month for WiFi, but with no way to enforce fair usage, paying students get the same throttled experience as everyone else and stop paying. Meanwhile a single MikroTik router capable of solving all of this sits in the corridor, unused beyond basic NAT, because nobody in the building knows how RouterOS queues work.

Krishna WiFi turns that MikroTik into a proper hostel WiFi system managed entirely from a web panel. The owner onboards the router through the 5-step wizard — the 13-point validation confirms the device is healthy — and then creates per-user or per-room speed profiles in plain language: 10 Mbps per student, 20 Mbps for the premium floor, unlimited for the owner's flat. Heavy downloaders get automatically capped instead of starving the building. If a student's device misbehaves, the owner can see it in the live traffic view and block or limit that one MAC address without touching anyone else. Every change is backed up, so an accidental misconfiguration is a one-click restore, not a weekend without internet and forty angry tenants.

The business side changes too. With enforceable speed tiers, a PG in Navrangpura or Kota can genuinely sell WiFi plans — ₹300 for standard, ₹500 for high-speed — because the panel actually delivers what each tenant paid for. Owners running multiple buildings use the multi-tenant roles to give each warden a limited login for their own building while keeping full control centrally. Compare the numbers: one month of a network engineer's AMC costs more than a year of software, and the complaints that used to eat every evening simply stop. For hostels near university areas where "good WiFi" is the first question every prospective tenant asks, that is a direct occupancy advantage.
