Wireless bridge with other brand AP

Sat Jul 30, 2016 11:26 pm

Hi,

I need to connect with my router to an AP and bridge it to ethernet interfaces. The AP is not MikroTik, so I cant set up EoIP or WDS, I dont even have access to setting that thing. I set it up MikroTik that connects to the AP like this (RB433):
/interface bridge
add name=lan
/interface bridge port
add bridge=lan interface=wlan1
add bridge=lan interface=ether1

/interface wireless security-profiles
add authentication-types=wpa-psk,wpa2-psk eap-methods="" group-ciphers=\
    tkip,aes-ccm management-protection=allowed mode=dynamic-keys name=key \
    supplicant-identity="" unicast-ciphers=tkip,aes-ccm wpa-pre-shared-key=\
    ******** wpa2-pre-shared-key=********
/interface wireless
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] band=2ghz-b/g/n country="czech republic" \
    disabled=no frequency=2462 mode=station-pseudobridge security-profile=key \
    ssid=a*****

/ip dhcp-client
add default-route-distance=0 dhcp-options=hostname,clientid disabled=no \
    interface=lan
In this configuration, I get IP over DHCP both on MikroTik and my NTB connected to ether1. But when I try to ping anything over the wireless conection, it timeouts.
I tried alse station and station-bridge as wireless mode.

Is it possible to make it work this way? If yes, how can I set it up, if not, why?
Thank you.

ImageI have reset the router and used QuickSet, set it up like this, but the problem is still the same. Internet works on router with no problem (I can ping everything). But on devices connected to ethernet ports, I only receive IP address from DHCP server, but I cant ping anything accept the router connected to WiFi.

Maybe the other side doesn't support bridging mode...
You would need to route and nat then.

You could use a station pseudo bridge.
