How the signal travels
Launch your first zone in 3 steps
From plugging in the router to cash on your Mobile Money.
1
Add your router
Connect your MikroTik from the app and WiNet configures it automatically.
2
Create your bundles
Set the duration, the data and the price. Customers see them on the zone's WiFi portal.
3
Get paid & cash out
Customers pay on the portal. Your balance grows and you cash out to Mobile Money.

WiNet, in the time of a jingle
Three ideas, not one more: your customers pay on the portal, your balance grows, you withdraw to Mobile Money. The spot is in French — the ideas travel anyway.
The voucher
Your codes really do expire
A bundle you sell should stop when you said it would, and work for one person only. That is the difference between a zone that earns and a zone the whole street helps itself to.
The clock starts at first connection
"Valid 7 days" means seven days from the moment the customer actually uses the code, not from the moment they paid. When the time is up, access closes on its own.
One code, one phone
The code locks to the customer's device the first time it connects. Passed on to neighbours or roommates, it simply stops working.
Vouchers you can print
Up to a hundred codes at once for over-the-counter sales. Codes are short by default, with no 0 or o, no 1, l or i, so nothing gets mixed up when a customer types them in. You choose the format: length, digits only, single code or username and password.
You already have the hardware
WiFi already up and running? Keep it.
Plenty of managers are not opening their first zone. They have been running one for months. The router is mounted, the signal reaches the back of the yard, customers know the network name. WiNet does not ask them to tear any of that down. It plugs into what is already there.
Your MikroTik router opens a secure tunnel to WiNet, and WiNet checks through that tunnel that the zone is answering. There is even a path where only the management layer gets installed: your Wi-Fi settings and your hotspot are left untouched, and you decide afterwards how far WiNet should go.
- You keep your hardware, your network name and the customers already connected to it.
- You keep your numbers: the bundles on the router are read back and adopted, and your past Mikhmon sales enter your history.
- You add a portal in your own colours, your bundles, Mobile Money collection and remote monitoring.
- You buy nothing new for as long as your kit does the job.
- Already running a hotspot and selling access? There is a whole page about that.
Every WiFi zone is run a little differently
A busy street corner, a hotel, a campus or a multi-site network need different bundles and see very different crowds. Pick the case closest to yours.
Neighbourhoods & retail
Call box, shop, internet café: short bundles, foot traffic all day, cash every evening.

Mobile Money
Your WiFi earnings, straight to your phone
No bank account, no waiting. WiNet turns your sales into a balance you can send to the mobile money service used in your country: M-Pesa in Kenya, Wave in Senegal, Airtel Money in Uganda, MTN Mobile Money or Orange Money in Cameroon. Cash out whenever you want, with nothing to pay upfront.

What WiNet changes next to how you work today
Plenty of managers track sales in a notebook, or already run their hotspot with Mikhmon. Here is, line by line, what changes — and what does not.
| Day to day | Notebook & hand-written codes | Mikhmon alone | With WiNet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Getting paid | Cash, hand to hand | Cash, hand to hand | Mobile Money and cards on the portal — and still cash at the counter |
| Selling while you are away | No | No | The portal sells 24/7, counter open or closed |
| Watching the zone | On site | From the local network | From anywhere, with an alert when the zone goes down |
| Sales history | By pen | On a single computer | Online, by zone and by bundle — your Mikhmon history carried over |
| Withdrawing your earnings | — | — | To your Mobile Money, in one tap |
| What it costs | Free | Free | Free — a single commission on portal sales only |
Nothing against the notebook, or Mikhmon
They do their job — which is exactly why WiNet imports your Mikhmon history when you attach the router instead of making you abandon it. What really changes is getting paid without being there, and running the zone from a distance.
Apps
WiNet, on the phone you already own
The web version works today, on Android and on iPhone. The installable apps come next: Android first, then iOS.
Web version
Available todayOpen app.winetapp.org in your phone browser, on Android or iPhone, and create your account. Nothing to install, nothing to update.
In Chrome or Safari, "Add to home screen" puts the WiNet icon next to your other apps.
Android
Coming soonThe Android app is built and signed, but it is not on Google Play yet, so there is no point looking for it there today. We are preparing the release.
In the meantime we send you the install file by email. Because it does not come from an app store, Android will ask you to allow installs from that source once before it continues.
iPhone & iPad
In progressThe iPhone project exists and rebuilds every time the code changes, but the app is neither on the App Store nor in public testing today. Publishing with Apple requires a developer account we have not opened yet. We will announce a date once we can hold to it, not before.
Until then, the web version runs in Safari on iPhone and iPad, with the same screens and the same account.

What to know before you start
How much does it cost?+
Creating an account is free. WiNet takes a commission on the sales made through the WiFi portal. You pay nothing upfront and there are no payments inside the app. Full details on the Pricing page.
How do my customers pay?+
Customers buy their access straight from the WiFi portal, using the payment methods available in their country: M-Pesa in Kenya, USSD and bank transfer in Nigeria, Airtel Money in Uganda, MTN Mobile Money and Orange Money in Cameroon, or by card. The full list is on the Countries served page. The money lands on your balance and you cash out whenever you like.
Can a customer share their code with the neighbours?+
No. On the first connection, the code locks to the phone using it. Given away or resold, it will not work on a second device. Everyone has to buy their own.
Do my bundles really expire?+
Yes. You can give a bundle a validity in days, counted from the customer's first connection rather than from the purchase. When it runs out, the router deletes the code, ends the session and stops the device reconnecting on its own. The router enforces this itself, so the rule holds even if the site has lost its internet connection. See the details on the WiFi portal page.
What hardware do I need?+
A compatible router (MikroTik) with an internet connection. The app walks you through the setup, on site or remotely. See the setup guide.
Can I run several zones?+
Yes. Run as many routers and zones as you want from a single account, each with its own bundles, sales and balance.
Is my data protected?+
Yes. Traffic is encrypted (HTTPS), your router credentials are encrypted at rest, and your data is never shared for advertising. You can delete your account at any time.
