Ping dslrouter , but no internet 54gwireless backbone.

My setup was Lan1 - 10.0.0.3 ,
wlan1 10.5.50.1 (hotspot on wlan1 )
dsl router 10.0.0.2 --------->Cable connection ( Lan1 on rb532.)

was working 100% no problems.

I want to created wireless backbone that will replace cable connection between my dsl router and rb 532. ( New location )
SO this is what i have done:

  1. Remove lan1 ( Disabled)
  2. install wlan2 card running AP ,Bridge mode.
  3. new cpe running bridge mode at dsl router.
  4. created snat 10.0.0.0/24 , masq
  5. change my routing

changed Gateway 10.0.0.2 interface from lan1 to wlan2

Summary IP’s :
Wlan2 - 10.0.0.3
Wlan1 - 10.5.50.1
Cpe - 10.0.0.1

dsl - 10.0.0.2.

I can ping my 10.0.0.2 , 10.0.0.3 , 10.0.0.1 from any of my clients computer on wlan1 ( hotspot ).

I can also open the webpage of my dsl router and cpe on any computer on my hotspot.

Problem :
I can not get my Internet to work , Page could not be displayed !!

Well you need to set ‘allow remotes dns requests’, that’s one issue.

Second, while you have given us the summary of your setup the info you provided is incomplete for troubleshooting purposes.

I’ll take a shot in the dark here though… Look at your routes, rules. In winbox it is under IP / Route / Rules. You should have a rule that says; SRC address 0.0.0.0/0 DST 0.0.0.0/0 ACTION Lookup (in my case it is table main) SOMETHING so the router knows where to send ‘unknown’ packets to. In terminal it looks like this; src-address=0.0.0.0/0 dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 action=lookup table=main

I also looked over your setup again…looks like you have the Hotspot Wlan2 running as an AP and your CPE at the dsl router running as a client… I think I’d reverse this… Your Wlan2 at the Hotspot should be a client, and your CPE at the dsl router should be the AP. You did not say what kind of CPE you were using…

Once you switch the above around, if you need to, you can follow directions elsewhere on the forum, wiki, or read the docs, and put Wlan2 and CPE together in a bridge fashion. Personally I’d use routing but I am not familiar with your needs/desires on your Hotspot setup.

Hi Tom

Thanks for advice

Wlan 2 is only ap - bridge no hotspot
Wlan 1 is also AP - Bridge with Hospot
cpe is client bridge

Wlan2 is connected to my CPe at my dslrouter.
I am using wr 2415 acconet. cpe

I will put my cpe on AP and my wlan2 as client

Hi TOM

YOUR THE MAN !!! Yes I when and just turned it around !!
I was so stuck in ping dsl router & scrnat , and i did not think about this

Wlan 2 running station
Wlan 2 10.0.0.3
Gateway 10.0.0.2

cpe running as AP
DHCP client

I can ping beyond my DSL router and internet work 100 %

Do you now any thing about wpe & wpa for secure connection between CPE and WLAn2 on mikrotik ?

Thanks my man .

Well I am glad it all worked out for you… It seem a little odd that you had the AP and Client radios ‘turned’ around as it were…


As to wpe/wpa - there are so many examples in the documentation and if you search this forum you’ll find it has been covered many times. You can even look in the wiki ( I believe there is an example there as well).
