Access device inside hotspot

RouterOS General
1

Hi

I have a RB750G that has a hotspot setup to provide public WiFi (RADIUS Authentication).

I obviously have a few AP’s that are in the Hotspot that I would like to access, to manage, check that they are up etc. However I cannot reach them.

my setup is this.

load balancer --------> MikorTik -----------------> Hotspot ------------> Access Points
Internal = 192.168.1.1 -----> 192.168.1.2 ---------------> 10.0.0.1 -------------> 192.168.1.10

I have tried to add the access point as bypassed in the access point but still have no luck.

This is off site but the load balancer is the vpn concentrator so I am basically sitting right on the load balancer. If anyone has some experience with this or suggestions it would be most appreciated.

Thanks

It looks like you have a duplicate subnet assignment. Is the hotspot interface assigned 10.0.0.1/24? If so, you should assign the aps an address in that range, then bypass those ips. Insure you remove the ips from the dhcp server (edit: I assign the dhcp lease as static to the mac address of the ap).

Also check “/ip hotspot host” to see if maybe the access point ips are being translated to a 10.0.0.x ip. Unless you route the 10.0.0.x ips to the Mikrotik router from any other devices, you will only be able to access the aps from the Mikrotik router.

And one more thing. If you selected “masquerade network: yes” during the hotspot setup, you probably will not be able to access the 10.0.0.x net from any external device.
