Hello all,

I try to setup a WLAN to LAN bridge with the intention to connect a wired device because i have no LAN access in that area.

what i did on my RB951-2n running on Router OS 6.18 was resetting the device to factory def without configuration,
configuring the ethernet ports (Eth1 as master, rest slave to eth1), bringing up the wireless interface in station mode and connect it to my wireless network (motorola/extreme networks), then setup a bridge and adding the two ports (eth1 and wireless). I also get an ip adress from the wireless network via DHCP (set up DHCP Client on wlan and eth1 interface)

Problem know is whenever i try to switch to station bridge mode, the rbs is not connecting to my wifi network anymore, didnt change anything else.

Any idea where the problem could be?

Appreciate your help
Peter

station-bridge mode requires a MikroTik Access Point providing the WiFi you connect to as this is a MT proprietary feature.
It's not possible with 3rd party APs.
You can use station-pseudobridge instead.

Setup dhcp client on the bridge only and use administrative mac address for the bridge. Also do not use term "wan" in this case as this is just bridge / switch lan extension scenario.

Hi all,

Thanks very much for your help - switching to pseudo-bridging did help - everything working fine now!

Cheers,
Peter
