The Routers & Packages section is where you connect your MikroTik hardware to ISPBills and define the internet service plans you sell to customers. Every customer subscription ties back to a router and a package defined here.

- Packages — Create the internet plans (PPPoE, hotspot, static IP) that customers subscribe to.
- Master Packages — Define wholesale plans for resellers to resell under their own pricing.
- PPP Profiles — View and manage PPP profiles that ISPBills creates on your routers.
- IPv4 Pools — Configure the IP address ranges ISPBills draws from when assigning IPs to customers.
- IPv6 Pools — Configure IPv6 address pools for dual-stack deployments.
- VPN Accounts — Create VPN accounts so ISPBills can securely reach routers on private networks.
- Backup Settings — Configure the primary authenticator and customer credential copy/failover workflow.
- Device Configuration Backup — Back up, compare, download and restore versioned MikroTik and OLT configurations.
Key Concepts
Router API Connection
ISPBills connects to each MikroTik router over its API port (default: 8728 or 8729 for SSL). When a customer is activated, renewed, or suspended, ISPBills sends commands directly to the router — no manual CLI work is needed.
Package Structure
A Package defines:
- Download / upload speed limits (Mbps or Kbps)
- Price (monthly or daily rate)
- Billing type (PPPoE daily, PPPoE monthly, hotspot, static IP)
- Associated router and IP pool
Master Packages
Master packages allow the admin to set a wholesale cost that resellers pay, while resellers can set their own retail prices for the same underlying plan.
VPN Accounts
If your routers are behind NAT or on a private network, ISPBills can connect to them through a VPN tunnel. Each VPN account represents one secure tunnel endpoint.
