Piso WiFi Platforms Compared: LPB, AdoPiSoft, PisoFi, JuanFi, Ruijie, JLink, and More

Piso WiFi is not one software. It is a business model, and the platform you choose decides how the portal looks, how pause works, how vouchers work, how you check sales, and how much support you get when something breaks.

This is the full platforms guide. The homepage gives only a short summary of platforms and links here for the detail. The Pause Time pillar gives the full pause rules for each platform. The Vendo pillar gives the machine parts and the plug and play versus DIY decision. The Login pillar gives the customer login steps. This page does not repeat those guides. It compares platforms side by side, explains who each one suits, and gives a decision framework so you can choose before you buy a licence or a machine.

The Short Answer: Which Platform Should You Choose?

There is no best platform for everyone. Use this short answer first, then read the platform sections for the reasons.

Platforms differ in their dashboard, licence, features and support, even though the coin machine idea is the same. Compare the dashboard and terms before you choose one. Illustrative example only, real dashboards differ by platform.
  • Choose a commercial platform with support, such as LPB, AdoPiSoft, or PisoFi, if this is your first machine, if you want a supplier to help you, or if you want remote sales checks and voucher tools without building them yourself.
  • Choose AdoPiSoft if you want to build on small boards such as Raspberry Pi, if you want time rates and data rates, and if you want a free Community Edition to learn on before you buy a paid licence.
  • Choose PisoFi if you run a larger setup, a computer shop, or a multi vendo location, and you want WiPass vouchers, sub vendo support, desktop timers, and detailed sales reports in one system.
  • Choose JuanFi if you already use MikroTik hardware, if you are comfortable with open source setup, and if you accept that there is no single company support desk.
  • Consider Ruijie and SmartFi, JLink, 1Click, or WiFi5Soft only after you check their current official pages and licence terms, because they are newer or less widely documented than the four main platforms, and their features change with firmware updates.

If you are still unsure after reading this page, choose by support first and by features second. A platform with clear support and a stable portal will earn more than a platform with more features that you cannot fix when it stops working.

Platforms at a Glance

This table is a summary only. Pause rules in full are in the Pause Time pillar. Machine parts in full are in the Vendo pillar. Licence prices change with promotions, so check the official site at the time you buy, rather than trusting a price quoted in an old article.

LPB Piso WiFi

LPB Piso WiFi is a commercial platform sold with licences. The official LPB site presents it as a cloud connected vending system with remote monitoring, e-payments, e-loading, and bandwidth control. It lists Lite and Premium licences with different user and sub-account limits, and a validity period for each tier. Check the official site at the time you buy, because tier limits and promotional prices change.

Who LPB suits

LPB suits a first machine owner who wants a supported system, a clear portal, and remote checks without building software. It also suits an owner with several machines who wants to check sales and status from a central dashboard, rather than visiting each machine.

Strengths, from the official site and operator guides

  • Remote monitoring and management, so you can check a machine without travelling to it.
  • E-payments through GCash and Maya where supported, plus e-loading, which helps in locations where customers top up phones as well as buy WiFi time.
  • Bandwidth control, so one user does not take the whole connection.
  • A portal layout that customers already recognise in many Philippine locations, which reduces the need to explain how to pay.

Limits to check before you buy

  • Licence cost and renewal. A licence that looks cheap in a promotion may renew at a higher price. Confirm the renewal price and the validity period in writing before you buy.
  • Pause rules are duration based, with separate toggles for coin and voucher mode in many builds. If you advertise pause, test both payment modes as a customer, as explained in the Pause Time pillar.
  • Support scope. Confirm what support covers: software only, or hardware as well, and how long it lasts. A licence is not the same as a hardware warranty.

LPB in one line for pause and login

Pause on LPB is duration based, with an admin set maximum. Login for customers is through the portal at 10.0.0.1, with coin, voucher, or e-wallet payment where supported. Full pause rules are in the Pause Time pillar. Full login steps are in the Login pillar.

AdoPiSoft

AdoPiSoft, often searched as ado piso wifi, is a hotspot management system that runs on small boards and on larger servers. Its official site lists Raspberry Pi 3 and 4 as the most reliable boards for its system, with Orange Pi as a lower cost alternative, Newifi 3 D2 as a combined board and access point option, and x64 servers for large setups.

Who AdoPiSoft suits

AdoPiSoft suits a builder who wants to use small boards, a shop owner who wants time rates and data rates, and a learner who wants to try a free Community Edition before paying for a commercial licence. It also suits an owner who wants a bandwidth limiter per user, so one heavy user does not slow everyone else down.

Strengths, from the official site

  • Remote online management, with sales, users, and other machine aspects checked over the internet.
  • Multiple wired and wireless coin acceptors, with simultaneous coin insertion, which helps in busy locations.
  • Content filtering, so an owner can allow or block adult and malicious sites where that feature is enabled.
  • Extendable WiFi signal through compatible access points, with a range that depends on the access point and environment.
  • Rebrandable portal, so an owner can customise the appearance of the web portal.
  • Support for all currencies in portal settings, which matters for owners outside the Philippines who adapt the system.
  • E-loading integration, listed as available in the Philippines only.
  • Bandwidth limiter per user, to give each user an equal share and to prevent abuse.
  • Paperless operation, with credit generated when a coin is inserted, rather than paper vouchers for every session.
  • Multi LAN and PPPoE support, with separate DHCP, captive portal, and bandwidth settings per network interface where configured.
  • Time rates and data rates, so an owner can sell minutes or sell megabytes.
  • Anti lag system, described on the official site as prioritising packets for competitive mobile games and applications.
  • Voucher and subscription options, with printed vouchers for weekly or monthly access, and periodic billing for regular customers.
  • Built in payment history, with a summary of income in the accounting system.

Licence and Community Edition: what to check

The official AdoPiSoft site presents a Community Edition as a free, extendable version, and paid licences for larger or commercial use. The official site lists a price starting at $10 at the time it was checked for this guide, with different user limits, admin user limits, and renewal terms by version and tier. Do not treat that starting price as the price for your setup. Check the current tier for your user count, the number of admin users you need, whether the licence supports ARM boards only or ARM and x64 machines, and whether it is perpetual on one version and yearly on another. Those details change by version, and they decide whether a cheap licence will actually cover your machine.

AdoPiSoft in one line for pause and login

Pause on AdoPiSoft is count based, with an admin set number of pauses per session, not only a duration. Login for customers is through the portal, with coin, voucher, or e-wallet payment where supported. Full pause rules, including why a universal default count is not stated in this guide, are in the Pause Time pillar.

PisoFi

PisoFi is a commercial platform with a wide feature list, aimed at larger setups and computer shops as well as standard vendo machines. Its official features page is the source for the strengths below. Where a feature depends on version or setup, this guide says so, rather than presenting it as universal.

Who PisoFi suits

PisoFi suits an owner with a computer shop, a multi vendo location, or a larger hotspot who wants detailed sales reports, sub vendo support, desktop timers, and charging in one system. It also suits an owner who wants WiPass vouchers with custom time, price, and speed settings, and who is willing to spend more time learning the admin panel.

Strengths, from the official features page

  • Portal with a carousel banner, session based time and data display, connection indicator, custom site name and tagline, and configurable buttons for pause, transfer, WiPass, insert coin, rates, and charging.
  • Chat between user and admin on the portal, and a WiPass page for converted or generated vouchers.
  • Sub vendo selection where available, with simultaneous coin insertion on main and sub vendos.
  • Admin client sessions view, with active clients, time and data, speed limits, transfer of remaining time, pause of a client session, disconnect, add, extend, or deduct time, and custom notifications.
  • Charging station management, with extend, pause, deduct, transfer, and disconnect options for charging users.
  • Sales monitoring with daily and monthly views, filters by machine, sales type, and date, and downloadable reports in common file formats.
  • WiPass and voucher generation with custom time, price, download and upload rates, secured vouchers with random passwords, unsecured vouchers without passwords, and print and download options.
  • Rates with a default rate per peso, separate WiFi, desktop, and charging rates, and fully customisable rates with descriptions.
  • Portal configuration with pause enable and disable, maximum pause time, pause validity, resume on connect, pause on disconnect, tethering control, WiPass control, and minimum coin settings.
  • Session options with new session expiry, auto switch to the next session, and auto merge of different time and data sessions.
  • Desktop options for computer shops, with a dedicated Windows application for lockscreen and time monitoring, and separate desktop pause and rate settings.
  • E-load with promos, regular load, auto refund, and configurable prefixes, with a note on the official page that some features may not be available on older versions.
  • Co-admin accounts with permissions per account, for WiFi clients, sales, WiPass, and other areas.
  • Activity tracking, with options to delete individual or all activities.
  • Bandwidth settings with global bandwidth, per user minimum and maximum limits, and an insert coin limiter with a lock period.
  • WiFi settings with internal or external access point choice, repeater mode, account authentication, SSID change, and WiFi password settings for internal access points.
  • Site control with website block and allow lists, and MAC control with block and allow lists for device addresses.
  • Network settings with static IP for the vendo, ISP router admin access control, DNS server choice, custom DNS, custom captive portal domain, port prioritisation, and IP lease display.
  • Notification settings with remaining time push notifications and custom messages.
  • Timer, skin, pin configuration, access token, job schedule, speed test, update, backup, and remote monitoring features, as listed on the official features page.

Limits to check before you buy

  • Learning time. A wide feature list means more settings to learn, and more settings that can be set wrong. Budget time to test rates, pause, vouchers, and desktop timers separately before you open.
  • Version differences. The official features page notes that some e-load features may not be available on older versions. Confirm the version you will receive, and what updates are included.
  • Licence validation. The admin panel shows licence type and key, with a dedicated validation button in its device section. Confirm the licence type before you buy a second machine, because a licence for one machine type may not cover another.

PisoFi in one line for pause and login

Pause on PisoFi is admin configurable, with maximum pause time, pause validity, and pause on disconnect options in its official feature list. Login for customers is through the portal, with coin, WiPass voucher, e-load, and charging options where enabled. Full pause rules are in the Pause Time pillar. Full voucher rules are in the Voucher guide.

JuanFi

JuanFi is open source and built around MikroTik hardware. It is not a single commercial product with one support desk. It is a hotspot system that operators configure themselves, often with a MikroTik router as the core.

Who JuanFi suits

JuanFi suits an experienced builder who already uses MikroTik hardware, who is comfortable reading community guides and configuring hotspot scripts, and who wants lower software cost in return for more setup work. It does not suit a first machine owner who wants a supplier to fix problems by phone.

Strengths, in general terms

  • Open source, so there is no single commercial licence fee for the software itself, although hardware, internet, and your time still cost money.
  • Customisable, because the operator controls the hotspot configuration, rates, and portal behaviour.
  • Popular with builders who already maintain MikroTik networks, because it fits their existing hardware and skills.

Limits to check before you build

  • No single default behaviour. Pause, voucher, and portal behaviour vary by build, so a guide for one JuanFi build may not match yours. Always test your own build as a customer.
  • No single support desk. Help comes from community guides, forums, and your own troubleshooting, not from one company.
  • Setup time. A JuanFi build takes longer to set up correctly than a plug and play commercial unit, especially for coin calibration, rates, and session handling.

JuanFi in one line for pause and login

Pause on JuanFi depends on how the operator configured the hotspot script. Login for customers is through the portal, with payment modes set by the operator. Full pause guidance for JuanFi builds is in the Pause Time pillar.

These systems are newer or less widely documented in this niche than LPB, AdoPiSoft, PisoFi, and JuanFi. That does not make them bad. It means you should verify their current official pages, licence terms, and support before you buy, rather than trusting a single operator post.

Ruijie and SmartFi

Ruijie is a networking brand, and SmartFi is the system name used in recent operator updates for Piso WiFi machines based on Ruijie hardware. Recent operator updates report auto pause shortly after a disconnect, often within 2 to 3 minutes, with resume on reconnect, plus a live coin counter on the portal and firmware updates that improve game traffic priority, scheduled updates, faster session resume, and pause validity. Those reports come from operator communities and update notes, not from a single official feature page checked for this guide. Verify auto pause, coin counter, and update behaviour on the current firmware version before you advertise them to customers.

Ruijie and SmartFi suit an operator who wants a modern portal and auto pause, and who is comfortable checking firmware notes for each update. They do not suit an owner who wants a long, stable feature list with no changes, because firmware updates can change portal behaviour.

Other names reported in operator discussions

Operator discussions also mention FoxPisoWiFi, Sky, and Twin J. This guide lists them only as names reported in those discussions, with no feature list, no market share claim, and no recommendation. Some reports describe Sky and Twin J as regional or reseller names, but quality and support vary by seller, so verify the current official terms, the actual supplier, and compatibility for your hardware before you buy. Do not treat a name in a marketplace listing as proof of a separate, verified platform.

JLink

JLink is reported in operator listings as a commercial Piso WiFi system with a dashboard that shows machine ID, online or offline status, version, and temperature, and with Main and Sub licence pricing reported in listings. Those details come from operator and professional listings, not from a full official feature page checked for this guide. Check the current official JLink page for licence tiers, user limits, payment options, pause rules, and support before you buy. Do not treat a reported licence price as current, because licence pricing changes with promotions and tiers.

JLink suits an operator who wants a dashboard view of machines and who verifies the current licence terms first. It does not suit a buyer who needs a complete, verified feature list before purchase, unless the official page provides one at the time you check.

1Click and WiFi5Soft

1Click and WiFi5Soft appear in operator listings as newer commercial alternatives. For 1Click, see the 1Click guide, which gives setup, admin, and business checks to make before you buy, rather than a full feature list, because no complete official 1Click feature page was verified for this guide at the time of writing.

WiFi5Soft: what is reported, and what to check before you buy

WiFi5Soft is folded into this pillar, not given a separate post, because no distinct, verified software path, pause rule, admin path, or licence structure was verified for WiFi5Soft beyond a short reported context, and a full guide built on that thin evidence would repeat this pillar’s general newer platform checks without adding a distinct answer. What is reported is limited: WiFi5Soft has been seen in operator and seller discussions in connection with a Piso WiFi plus e-loading setup, with a WiFi5Soft user interface shown in a seller context and Globe and TM load mentioned in the same discussion. That reported context does not prove a feature list, a pause model, a payment list, a licence price, or a dashboard field list for WiFi5Soft, and it does not prove that WiFi5Soft is the same system as 1Click, LPB, AdoPiSoft, PisoFi, or JuanFi.

Before you buy a system labelled WiFi5Soft, ask the supplier, in writing, for the official feature list, the licence terms, the pause rules, the payment options including e-loading where claimed, the update policy, and the support scope, for the exact version and hardware you will receive. Test a demo portal as a customer if one is offered, and check that rates, pause, and voucher behaviour match the written list. If the supplier cannot give those items in writing, treat that as a risk, not as a reason to buy quickly, and compare a platform with clear written terms first, using the decision questions and matrix in this pillar. Split WiFi5Soft out into a full guide only later, if a distinct software path, pause rule, admin path, or licence structure is verified from an official or supplier source for that specific system.

Allan and Grace: Short Notes, Not Full Guides

Allan and Grace appear as named system labels in operator listings, and they were listed in the original plan as rebuilt guides. They are kept here as short notes only, not as full guides, because no distinct software path, pause rule, or admin default was verified for either label in the sources checked for this guide, and their login, voucher, and pause steps repeat the steps already covered in the Login, Pause Time, Voucher, and Admin Login pillars.

Allan

If your machine is labelled Allan, treat the label as a seller or build name, not as proof of a separate platform. Use the Login pillar for portal steps, the Pause Time pillar for pause rules, and the Admin Login pillar for panel steps, and check your own build for its portal address, pause toggles, and admin path, because no single default was verified for this label. Do not assume LPB or AdoPiSoft defaults apply to an Allan labelled machine without checking the supplier documentation for that machine.

Grace

If your machine is labelled Grace, treat the label the same way as Allan. Use the Login pillar for portal steps, the Pause Time pillar for pause rules, and the Admin Login pillar for panel steps, and check your own build for its portal address, pause toggles, and admin path, because no single default was verified for this label either. Split either label out into a full guide only later, if a distinct software path, pause rule, or admin path is verified from an official or supplier source for that specific build.

How to Choose a Platform: 5 Questions

Answer these questions in order. Your answers will narrow the choice faster than a feature list will.

Question 1: Is this your first machine, or are you a builder?

If it is your first machine, choose a commercial platform with support. If you are a builder, AdoPiSoft or JuanFi may suit you, because you can handle setup and repair yourself.

Question 2: How many machines will you run, and where?

One indoor machine needs a simple, stable platform. Several machines, or a multi vendo location, need remote management, sales reports, and sub vendo support. PisoFi and LPB list those features in their official material. Check that the licence tier you buy covers the number of machines and users you actually have.

Question 3: How will customers pay?

Coin only is the simplest case. Voucher, WiPass, e-wallet, e-load, and charging add features, but they also add settings to test. If you need WiPass vouchers and desktop timers, PisoFi lists them. If you need e-loading in the Philippines, LPB and AdoPiSoft list it. Confirm the payment options on the current version, not only in a marketing page.

Question 4: What pause behaviour do you want to offer?

Pause is not the same on every platform. LPB uses a duration limit. AdoPiSoft uses a count limit. PisoFi uses duration and validity settings. JuanFi varies by build. Ruijie and SmartFi report auto pause on disconnect. Choose the pause model that matches how your customers actually use the machine, and advertise only the model you have tested. Full pause rules are in the Pause Time pillar.

Question 5: What support and updates do you need?

Ask what support covers, how long it lasts, how updates are delivered, and what happens if an update changes a setting. A platform with slow support but stable software may suit a single machine. A platform with fast support and frequent updates may suit a growing business, as long as you test updates before they reach customers.

Can You Switch Platforms Later?

In general, switching platforms means reinstalling software on the control board, setting rates, WiFi name, passwords, and pause rules again, and retesting every payment mode as a customer. There is no universal migration tool that moves settings, vouchers, and sales history from one platform to another in all cases. Some platforms offer backup and restore for their own settings, but that backup does not usually import into a different platform.

Before you switch, back up your current settings, note your rates, WiFi name, voucher codes in use, and sales records, and plan a quiet time for the switch. Test the new platform with a small payment before you open to customers. If you run several machines, switch one machine first, test it for a week, and only then switch the rest. Switching all machines at once leaves you with no working machine to compare against if the new setup fails.

Frequently Asked Questions About Piso WiFi Platforms

Which piso wifi platform is the best?

There is no single best platform. LPB suits first machine owners who want support and remote checks. AdoPiSoft suits builders on small boards and owners who want time and data rates. PisoFi suits larger setups and computer shops. JuanFi suits experienced MikroTik builders. Choose by support, machine count, payment options, pause model, and update policy, not by a single feature.

Is ado piso wifi the same as AdoPiSoft?

Yes, in search terms. “Ado piso wifi” is a common spelling of AdoPiSoft in keyword lists and operator posts. The platform name is AdoPiSoft. This page uses AdoPiSoft throughout, and the AdoPiSoft guide linked at the end of this page covers its setup in full.

Is AdoPiSoft free?

AdoPiSoft presents a Community Edition as a free, extendable version on its official site. Paid licences apply to larger or commercial use, with different user limits and renewal terms by version and tier. Check the current tier for your user count and board type before you rely on a free version for a commercial machine.

Is LPB Piso WiFi official, or is it a clone?

LPB Piso WiFi is a commercial platform with its own official site, licence tiers, and remote management features. That is different from a clone site that copies a portal layout without a licence. Check the official LPB site for licence tiers and terms, and buy a licence from an authorised source, with a receipt that shows the tier and validity period.

Can I use JuanFi without MikroTik hardware?

JuanFi is built around MikroTik hardware in the usual setup. Using it without MikroTik hardware would mean adapting the system to different hardware, which is not the standard JuanFi build. If you do not already use MikroTik, a commercial platform on a small board is usually a simpler choice.

Do all platforms use 10.0.0.1 for login?

Most Piso WiFi machines use 10.0.0.1 for the customer portal, and 10.0.0.1/admin for the admin panel, but the gateway address can differ by operator setup. Check the Router or Gateway field on your device, as explained in the Login pillar, rather than assuming one address for every machine.

Can I run two platforms on one machine?

No, in the usual case. One control board runs one platform at a time. Running two platforms on one machine would mean two portals, two timers, and two admin panels competing for the same coin slot and network, which is not a supported setup. Choose one platform per machine, and use sub vendo or multi machine setups if you need different behaviour in different spots.

What should I check before buying a platform licence?

Check the tier and user limit, the validity period and renewal price, the board compatibility, the payment options, the pause model, the update policy, and the support scope, in writing. Test rates, pause, and voucher behaviour as a customer before you open, and keep the licence receipt with the machine records.

If you need to log in as a customer, go to the Login pillar. If you have a paid session and need to pause it, go to the Pause Time pillar. If you are an owner who needs to change settings, go to the Admin Login guide. If you want machine types and parts, go to the Vendo pillar. If you want income, cost, location, and permit factors, go to the Business guide. If you want voucher, WiPass, and transfer rules in full, go to the Voucher guide. Each page covers its own topic in full, so this page does not repeat their steps.
