for example , kindly visit for product call VIP 110-24 ( now its VIP 110-58 ) & topology http://eionwireless.com/technology/vine

only the addition is one extra antenna for repe modem

Look at the wiki article again. The important part for you is AP1, AP2 connecting to Repeater. The wireless card that connects to the main gateway in this example is irrelevant for what you are trying to do. So look at the wlan2 interface of the Repeater and then AP1 and AP2.

hi cbrown,

in short you are trying to say that

if ther is a repeater i must have two wireless card, indirectory that is adding more cost to my project ( one wireless acrd & antenna)
so, no of repeater add nos of wireless cards too,

in other case ( which i suggest ) is just adding antenna

lets take forward to mikrotik for future option for the same

No, that is not what I’m saying at all. You CAN create a repeater with only one wireless card. This is the part of the wiki you need to try.

AP

/interface wireless set wlan2 disabled=no mode=ap-bridge band=5ghz frequency=5805 ssid=To_clients wds-mode=static
/interface wireless wds add disabled=no wds-address=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:X4  master-interface=wlan2
/interface bridge port add interface=wlan2 bridge=bridge1
/interface bridge port add interface=wds2 bridge=bridge1
/ip address add address=192.168.0.2/24 interface=bridge1

Repeater

/interface wireless set wlan1 disabled=no mode=ap-bridge band=5ghz frequency=5805 ssid=To_clients wds-mode=static
/interface wireless wds add disabled=no wds-address=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:X3  master-interface=wlan1
/interface bridge add
/interface bridge port add interface=wlan1 bridge=bridge1
/interface bridge port add interface=wds1 bridge=bridge1
/ip adress add address=192.168.0.3/24 interface=wlan1

as your wiki


Repeater configuration export:

/ interface wireless set wlan1 disabled=no mode=ap-bridge band=5ghz frequency=5180 ssid=Main_gw wds-mode=static
/ interface wireless wds add disabled=no wds-address=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:X1 master-interface=wlan1
/ interface bridge add
/ interface bridge port add interface=wlan1 bridge=bridge1
/ interface bridge port add interface=wds1 bridge=bridge1

/ interface wireless set wlan2 disabled=no mode=ap-bridge band=5ghz frequency=5805 ssid=To_clients wds-mode=static
/ interface wireless wds add disabled=no wds-address=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:X4 master-interface=wlan2
/ interface bridge port add interface=wlan2 bridge=bridge1
/ interface bridge port add interface=wds2 bridge=bridge1
/ ip address add address=192.168.0.2/24 interface=bridge1


wlan1 communicate with your base or root( main Gateway)
Wlan2 communication with Clients ( ap1 & ap2)


now what VIP110-24 does

Wlan1 will communicate with root & same wlan1 also communicate with Clients ( see Snap Above or visit site http://eionwireless.com/technology/vine)

That part of the configuration does not apply to you. It is for a different type of setup. Ignore the wlan1 card on the “Repeater”. AP1 and AP2 are the actual repeaters. You need to follow wlan2 on the “Repeater” and then then the whole config on AP1.

hi dear,

let me make it simple,


there are four radios ( 1. AP ------- 2. Repeater----------3. Client )
