This is your working tool: it is where you receive missions, start the enrolment and check that the portal opens. Keep some mobile data in reserve for job days.
Can you wire up a router, run a cable and mount an antenna? Become a WiNet technician: you receive missions in your own city, you accept the ones that suit you, and you are paid per mission.
A manager needs help setting up their WiFi zone, or their router has stopped responding. WiNet posts a mission for that city. You, a registered technician, receive it, accept it if it suits you, do the job, and get paid once the work is approved.
As soon as a mission opens near you, you are notified. The listing gives the city and neighbourhood, the type of venue, the router model involved, the kind of work (installation or repair) and the pay on offer.
Nothing is forced on you. If the mission is too far, if you are not available or if the setup does not appeal to you, you simply do not accept and it goes to another technician. Once accepted, though, you are committed: the manager is counting on you at the agreed time.
You go to the manager's place, connect the MikroTik router to the modem and to power, position the access point where the signal carries, then start the enrolment from the app. Configuration happens automatically over a secure tunnel: you never have to write rules by hand.
You then check that the portal opens properly on a phone, that a bundle shows up and that a test access works.
You mark the mission as finished. The zone must be online and the portal reachable: that is the test. The manager confirms, WiNet checks the router's status remotely, and the mission moves to approved.
The agreed pay for the mission is transferred to you once it is approved. It is settled by debiting the balance of the manager's zone: the manager funds the job, never you.
No engineering degree required. What counts is knowing your way around a network, taking appointments seriously, and being able to explain plainly to a manager what you have done.
Better to be clear from the start, so nobody misreads the nature of the relationship.
Nothing exotic: what a good neighbourhood repairman already owns is enough. The router itself is supplied by the manager — you never pay for hardware upfront.
This is your working tool: it is where you receive missions, start the enrolment and check that the portal opens. Keep some mobile data in reserve for job days.
One or two ready-made patch leads of different lengths, plus what you need to make one on site: cable by the metre, connectors, a crimping tool and a tester.
Screwdrivers, cutting pliers, cable ties, wall plugs and screws, insulating tape, and a ladder if you have one: enough to mount an access point neatly up high.
A motorbike, a bicycle, or simply a good grasp of the routes across your city. Missions are picked up neighbourhood by neighbourhood: being close by makes the difference.
There is no form to fill in. Send us an email with the subject line already set and the details below: the more precise your message, the faster we can register you and start sending you missions.
No application fee, no deposit, no compulsory kit purchase, no "advance to reserve a zone". If someone claiming to represent WiNet demands a payment, do not pay and report it to us at [email protected].
To go further: look over the MikroTik installation guide you will follow on missions, the getting started guide to understand what the manager goes through, or the Partners & resellers page if you are a company rather than an independent technician.
