Basic mAP wireless ethernet bridge does not work

RouterOS General
1

Hello,
I have been fighting on this one for 2 days now and tried everything already found on the forums in vain.

I am simply trying to make the basic wireless ethernet setup work:

ISP gateway … wifi … mAP=== Laptop (ethernet port)

I started as recommended with the default configuration on which I simply connected the wlan1 interface as a station to my home GW.
Then I set up :

  • DHCP client for the wlan1 interface → ok obtained IP 192.168.1.82 for wlan1
  • DHCP server on the ether1 interface → ok the laptop hooked through ethernet gets IP 172.16.9.5

I also configured the masquerade rule in the firewall.

I removed any existing bridge.
From the mAP, I can ping everything and have internet access.
From the ethernet-connected laptop, I cannot ping www.google.con nor access the web.

I know this is supposed to work but something fails somewhere and I cannot get a grip on what.

Any help greatly appreciated :wink:

Thanks
Hacen

What is your dhcp network configuration? Do you have DNS servers set up and is dns ‘remote requests’ enabled? Can you ping by ip address (e.g. 8.8.8.8 ) from laptop?
