…

Is my configuration OK ?
If so .. why I don’t see any connection between the …
I plug the antenna and both system are in the same room.


And , I tried to update the BOX-2 to 2.8.26.
Upload the new (2.8.26 RouterOS)..
The upload looks fine .. the files was there before I reboot

Reboot, and check the “packages” … and I found it’s still 2.8.23.


Sincerely

Use WDS. You should also check if you have an antenna that support the 5130 frequency.

You can find a “howto” here (both WDS andn EOIP):
http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.8/howto/howto.content

PS! You need a bit of distance between your Access Points as well. If you have too strong antennas (eg. more than 6dBi) you will get low/none data throughput if the antennas are too close.
