A tale of two bridges

RouterOS General
1

i have setup two wireless bridges (data and voice) between a pair of mikrotik rb433 with xr2 cards (2 per mikrotik) across 10km. one mikrotik is configured as bridge the other as wds station. during peak hour, data bridge is sometimes unstable and voice bridge is totally unreachable/unpingable. otherwise, both bridges are fine during off peak.

here’s how the network looks like

[rb433+ros311+xr2] <===data+voice bridges===> [rb433+ros311+xr2]

the data lan ip address is 10.55.0.x/24 and the voice lan ip is 10.55.1.x/24. has anyone done similiar setup? what issue did you encounter? thanks…

Try with bridge mode in both ends and wds. If you don’t use ips with the rbs, it should work.
Remember to bridge wds and ether

Or you can eliminate wds entirely and use station pseudobridge at one end and bridge or ap-bridge at the other.
Another option would be to eliminate bridging entirely and go with routing.
