Guest Wi-Fi with a daily limit per person
Every guest gets their own login and a daily data allowance. QuotaSpot runs on your own OpenWrt router: pay once, no monthly fee, no cloud.
The problem
Shared guest Wi-Fi is fine – until someone starts a long video or a big download. Then it crawls for every other customer, patient or guest. On metered internet, your data runs out early too.
One phone takes almost everything. No way to stop it.
Dashed line: the daily allowance you set.
Everyone has their own login and a daily allowance you choose. Hit it, and you're done until midnight.

How it works
No new hardware if your router can run OpenWrt. No terminal. No subscription.
Type your router's model into our checker. In a minute you know if it can run QuotaSpot, before you pay anything.
Open the router checkerOpen the app on Windows or Linux. A browser wizard finds your router, checks it, and installs everything for you.
Create logins in the admin panel and hand them out. Each one gets a daily download and upload allowance.
Your router must run OpenWrt (free router software). The checker tells you how hard that is for your model.
QuotaSpot Setup can switch a GL.iNet Beryl AX (GL-MT3000) or Flint 2 (GL-MT6000) to OpenWrt for you (beta). Not affiliated with OpenWrt or GL.iNet.

Who it's for
You don't need to understand routers. You need guest Wi-Fi that keeps working – and a polite way to say "that's enough for today".
QuotaSpot packages openNDS, per-user daily quotas and a small admin panel into a guided installer. One purchase covers every client – no subscription to resell, nothing hosted by us.

FAQ
A router that runs OpenWrt 24.10 or 25.12 (we test on 25.12.6) with at least 32 MB of storage, 128 MB of memory and Wi-Fi – plus a Windows or Linux computer to run QuotaSpot Setup.

Don't buy yet. QuotaSpot only works on routers that can run OpenWrt. Your options:
Setup is point-and-click, with no terminal. But someone has to connect a computer to the router and follow the steps, and if your router doesn't run OpenWrt yet, installing it is a technical job. Most owners hand this to their IT person.
Here is exactly what it does, and what it doesn't.
What it does:
What it doesn't do: the guest network is open (no Wi-Fi password) and the sign-in page uses plain HTTP, which is normal for captive portals. Treat it like any public Wi-Fi. We make no security certification or compliance claims (for example HIPAA, GDPR or PCI).
In clinics and hospitals, use it for visitor and waiting-room Wi-Fi only – never for clinical systems or patient data.

Usage is checked about every 15 seconds during a session, so a guest can go a little over before being stopped.
No. QuotaSpot does logins that you create, each with daily limits. It doesn't take payments, print vouchers, or do SMS or social login.
Support is remote, for customers everywhere: by email, and remote help by screen-share where that's useful.
