Hello guys I have a little problem with my hotspot.
Here is my scenario:
MKRouter (the hotspot serv.)________MKRouter (as CPE)________PC
From PC side I don`t any IP from hotspot. maybe I´m missing something. How I do have to configure de MKrouter CPE to get the PC working well.
help please.
thank you.
Greetings!
Actually, you don’t get an IP from the hotspot service. If you want to use dhcp, you need to start the dhcp service.
I think it is
/ip dhcp-server setup
There is also a dhcp section in the web-based setup too.
The cpe is just an AP-bridge…no NAT, correct?
Thank you for you answer.
the cpe acts as station mode. actually the PC recieves the IP from the master hotspot but once you open the browser and type the gateway IP to get authenticate the browser do not answer that call because always say the page cannot be displayed.
thank you.
The page you are trying to display is localnet? If it is, then it seems to me maybe it is an Apache setup challenge. That should not require a “trip through the router”. Any localnet address, even the gateway IP, should not require authentication from the hotspot.
EDIT: If you want to “take a trip through the router”, use the IP of ether1 instead of your gateway IP. But that will give you the MikroTik login page if you are on a routerboard.
hello SurferTim,
I solved the problem. WDS was the answer, of course mikrotik`s team helped me out.
thank you.
