Hi,
This is my first post.
I’ve tried searching for my answer without luck.
My board 411 with radio r52, I would like to set this board up about 500ft at my friends house and have it connect to my Netgear (getting internet from my netgear) if it is possible.
my netgear setup is:
ssid: netgear
wpa2-psk (eas)
b,g,n
Password: pleasechange (that is only example of password)
ip 192.168.1.1
255.255.255.0
Is there a script or config for this?
Many thanks.
The Netgear router has a typical omni-directional antenna?
What kind of antenna do you plan to use with the RB411?
Use winbox to configure the RB411.
In the wireless section set up a security profile for dynamic keys, wpa2-psk & AES with a password you use on the Netgear router.
Wireless interface should be in station mode, select the security profile you configured before, either leave the scan-list at default or enter the frequency of the channel you are using. Then simply run scan, find your network SSID and click connect. When connected, the wireless interface of the RB411 should be marked with R as running.
In IP/dhcp-client section you should set up a DHCP-client instance on the wireless interface to obtain an IP address from the Netgear router.
On the ethernet interface of the RB411 you should add an IP address and mask different than you use on the Netgear and set up a dhcp-server for the ethernet interface.
The last thing is masquerade - in IP/Firewall/NAT add an entry in chain src-nat with out-interface=wlan1 and action=masquerade.
Should work…
Thanks for your help.
Using netgear omini-directional antenna and a cpe ant. box
I’m half way there but still having problems
I got my password profile set no problem.
I scan and pick up the Netgear I select it and it shows to run.
One of my problems is my rb is not giving a valid ip to laptop connected via Ethernet of board (with it’s internal wifi off)
when I do ip config it gives the 169 address.
If netgear has the 192.168.1.1 address and 255 sub. What would be a good address to set the routerboard as? I’ve tried several and doing something wrong.
I’m having problems I feel with the IP/dhcp client and server and the Nat.
Thanks
