how to make lr8 a wifi client

Thu Feb 22, 2024 7:06 pm

Hi all,
Im a netwoking noob.
I have a few lr8 gateways around, they are all connected directly to LAN interfaces and they are all working great. Now i have the chance to deploy one on a new roof but there is no way to connect directly to a LAN port BUT they have a WiFi there that i can use. I searched around in the forum and on google and im overwhelmed from all the settings of router OS.
I noticed that there are always simple and advanced ways to achieve certain goals in router OS and im not sure what to search for. so my question is:
How can i connect the lr8 via WiFi to the network without messing everything up?

It should not be harder than most other Mikrotiks (i.e. hard, but doable).

You will need to connect via ethernet to configure it AND you must be VERY careful to not lock yourself out.

Hi Jaclaz,
thank you
i have some ideas:
-on quickset using CPE
-on configuration im already lost. the manual(https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Quickset) says that the difference is L2 or L3. i think L3 is what i want but i dont want that it acts as a router, its confusing
-on wireless network select: Address Acquisition -> automatic
- on local network: it wants an ip address, but i want a ip from the dhcp server, im not sure what to put in

will the quickset CPE mess with the LAN port and lock me out?

In this page:
https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Quickset
there is a single occurrence of L2 (as part of L2TP/IPsec) and none of L3.
Maybe you are reading another page?

I am not following you on the rest.

The device is intended, if I get it right, never to be connected to via ethernet if not for management (i.e. there is no "local network" at all, only the wireless one), so you can add to ether1 a static IP (doesn't it already have the default 192.168.88.1?) and use a static IP on your PC as well.

The issue about being locked out is relative to possible firewall rules and to the interface belonging to either WAN or LAN and interfaces lists allowed for winbox, as mkx explained on that thread:

Re: how to make lr8 a wifi client

Thu Feb 22, 2024 10:16 pm

it says:
What's is difference between Router and Bridge mode?
Bridge mode adds all interfaces to the bridge allowing to forward Layer2 packets (acts as a hub/switch).
In Router mode packets are forwarded in Layer3 by using IP addresses and IP routes (acts as a router).

on the manual https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/UM/wAP+LR8+kit it says:
-In the "QuickSet" menu set up the following: Choose your country, to apply country regulation settings;
-Set up your wireless network password in the left field;
-Set up your router password in the bottom field;

But they are doing this on a WASP AP, shown in the image below. I dont want a AP, i need the device to work as a wifi client.
And why should i enter my router password? i dont know what this is intended for.
Like i sayd before, im confused.


I always added a firewall rule for tcp on port 80 to ether1. So i have Poe and data all in one and deactivated wlan1 on interfaces for security. thats how my i set up the gateways normally.

I found a posts searching for precisely this feature but it is not solved.
viewtopic.php?t=187904

I don't know what to search for......

Yep, in networking different sources like to call the same thing in different ways, the good Mikrotik guys have progressed in this art bringing It to near perfection.
An AP (access point) is usually a bridge between a local wireless (LAN) and a local wired network (still LAN). (the devices connected via wifi are on the same network as the devices connected via ethernet cables) so essentially L2. You may think at It as a switch/hub that connects (bridges) wireless with wired.
A normal wired router is essentially an L3 device as it connects your local network (LAN) to *something else* like a different network or your ISP/internet (WAN), in practice usually a router has more than one port/interface on the LAN side, so It Is also a L2 device, for the interfaces that are into the bridge.
The other lr8's you have are already (if I get it right) "stations" or "routers" as they connect your local network (LAN) wired to ether1 to *something else* (the LoraWan) though there is not really-really any L2 or L3 as you have only one interface in use on the LAN side and the LoraWAN is not actually another network, it is not exactly routing it is UDP packet forwarding.
What you want now is (again if I get it right) the same but connecting the local network (LAN) via wireless to the wifi interface to *something else* (the LoraWan).
So, in theory, you can use the same configuration as those other devices but exchanging the ether1 with the wifi interface.
(but still keeping ether1 enabled as management port, outside any bridge).
Maybe if you post the configuration of one of your other working lr8 (removing/changing sensitive data) it will be easier to point you to the relevant settings.
It is well possibile that what you have now is the wifi interface and ether1 in a bridge and you just disabled the wifi one.

Re: how to make lr8 a wifi client

Oh, the lr8 lets you connect via lan nearly out of the box. the only thing to do is add a firewall rule for ether1 to port 80, and voila, it works. the device gets a ip address and i can connect to webfig and it connects to the internet and to the lora-server.It is not found in the manual but you find a few resources online. But i dont know what are the settings in the background.
The other way is to connect over wifi but without internet access. the lr8 creates a open wifi network an you can connect and login to webfig.
But for changing configurations i normally login with winbox over lan.
it is not exactly routing it is UDP packet forwarding
I think so, if you want to make a comparison, its more like a bluetooth iot device that sends data to a bluetooth gateway that translates into internet protocols.
So i have to establish a UDP connection to my lorawan-network-server in a data center.
But the actual gateway is somewhere in a house on the countryside. In the house they have some unknown router with wifi functionality and i have to connect the lr8 in their home-network to get internet access.
So i need to connect to the lr8 via winbox over lan select the wifi ssid and put in the password so that it connects to the wifi.

The default of the lr8 is the opposite, you first connect over wifi, change the settings there and deploy the device over lan.



this is the actual config file from the device in question. it is connected via lan cable in my office

Re: how to make lr8 a wifi client  [SOLVED]

Fri Feb 23, 2024 2:05 pm

The "main" setting to be changed is:
/interface wireless
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] band=2ghz-b/g/n channel-width=20/40mhz-XX \
disabled=no distance=indoors frequency=auto installation=outdoor mode=\
ap-bridge
ssid=MikroTik-0BF10E wireless-protocol=802.11
You want that to be "station".

Then, you need to have (probably) the dhcp client on interface wlan1 (or set a static IP address).

Then you should remove/disable the dhcp server (unless you want to keep it for ether1, in which case you have to set it to the "right" interface, ether1, not wlan1

And finally, you should configure the
/interface wireless security-profiles
to be able to connect to the wi-fi network.

Hi Jaclaz,
Awesome, i think it works.
ping 8.8.8.8 works
I did not executing the default script at the beginning!(everybody suggested it)It ends in a mess of configurations.
Connecting with winbox by eth1 mac address with LAN cable(USB dongle has problems,it disconnects every few seconds)
Go to Wireless
activate wlan1
security profiles->Mode->dynamic keys,Authentication_Types->WPA2 PSK, WPA2 Pre-shared Key->enter password of the WiFi you want connect to->OK
double-click on the wlan1 interface
Mode->station
click on the Scan button
Start
select network
connect
click OK
IP->DHCP Client, + , wlan1->OK
ping 8.8.8.8 works

i hope i forgot nothing

the only thing, connecting over WiFi to RouterOS does not work, not by winbox and not by Browser What do i miss?

Thank you

The interface needs to be in the "right" interface list, relevant settings are:
/interface list
add comment=defconf name=WAN
add comment=defconf name=LAN
the above defines two "classes" of interfaces, essentially an "unsafe" one and a "safe" one.

/interface list member
add comment=defconf interface=wlan1 list=LAN
add comment=defconf interface=ether1 list=WAN
the above tells to which class an interface belongs, and finally these:

/tool mac-server
set allowed-interface-list=LAN
/tool mac-server mac-winbox
set allowed-interface-list=LAN
should be the services/servers involved in Winbox working.

Your settings seem correct, but there could be firewall filter rules that prevent anyway Winbox access from wlan1.

Post again your current configuration, maybe someone can spot the issue.

Hi Jaclaz,
thank you for your patience and your tips!

How i said above, i resetted the lr8 without default script and the config file is now pretty short.
the firewall rule list is complete empty

You are a minimalist, I like the approach :) .

I believe that the way you configured (should we say under-configured?) it - while working - needs the additions I listed in my previous post (or the equivalent) to have winbox connection, for a test you can copy and paste the three snippets above in terminal, one by one.
They should be "safe", in the worst case they will need some other explicit settings as "dependencies" and winbox will continue not connecting.

There are surely a number of "invisible" (default) settings that are not shown in a simple export, maybe you should make an "/export verbose":
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/pages/vi ... eId=328160

Or you can inspect the settings with:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/MAC+server
/tool mac-server print
and
/tool mac-server mac-winbox print

Re: how to make lr8 a wifi client

Hi,
You are a minimalist, I like the approach :) .
Step by step, i like to hear the gears working:)

the last days i played around with the settings and read a lot of configuration files.
When i enter the command:
/tool mac-server mac-winbox
set allowed-interface-list=LAN
and then reboot, im not able to login anymore over win-box with the mac address.... what makes sense, activating mac-winbox on LAN, deactivates it on WAN, what is grouped with the ether1 interface.
BUT the routeros management site is not reachable via IP, not from win-box and not from the browser.
The WiFi connection works because the UDP connection to my server is working!

I can reach two other lr8 in my network over IP (not found in neighbors but reachable), so it might not be a hardware issue somewhere in the network

In the configuration www is enabled and set on port 80.

What do i miss...

here is the export verbose
(without /tool mac-server mac-winbox
set allowed-interface-list=LAN)

Re: how to make lr8 a wifi client

Fri Mar 01, 2024 2:20 am

Cannot say.
You can try setting (temporarily) the allowed interfaces to "all" both in Mac server and mac server Winbox.
Also could the !dynamic setting in
/ip neighbor discovery-settings
be involved?

Re: how to make lr8 a wifi client

Thank you jaclaz!
You saved my ass.
I have to deploy the device today. It is reachable from winbox over mac and it is in a private network, i hope it is good enough.

and the !dynamic did he trick!(edit: for my other devices that are connected over ethernet, they are now visible in winbox neighbors)

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Good. :)

How did you set the /ip neighbor discovery-settings ?


I guess that it should be:
set discover-interface-list=LAN

but it would be useful to other members searching for similar issues to have a confirmed working value.

Re: how to make lr8 a wifi client

Sat Mar 02, 2024 2:33 pm

I think i was not clear enough.
I played around with neighbor-discovery settings but it did not help for the "wifi station lr8", the one you helped me connecting..., there i am not able to connect over IP, but with mac address and ... it works.

But in the previous post i talked about the other two lr8's in my network and that winbox could not find them in my network.
I can reach two other lr8 in my network over IP (not found in neighbors but reachable)
On those i changed the setting from LAN to WAN (because i connected them to over the ether1 port and wlan1 is turned off), and winbox now shows them under neighbors, Fantastic!!
First check what the interface in question is a member of, with:
interface/list/member/print
then check the neighbor discovery settings
IP->Neighbors->Discovery settings->Discovery Interface List
you can choose WAN, LAN or all

I go to add some edits for the previous post

Re: how to make lr8 a wifi client

Sat Mar 02, 2024 5:18 pm

So, for the "one" device there is still something missing.

I mean, if it works on the other two devices with WAN, it should work on this "reversed" one with LAN (for the sake of symmetry).

If you did add to that devices ALL the settings I listed in post #10 + the neighbour discovery one, I don't know what else may be still missing. :?
