I’m having an awful time with my setup.
I’ve been able to get the wlan1 connected successfully to my WIFI access point, however that’s about it.
Once I have this setup, shouldn’t I be able to setup a DHCP client?
Any DHCP client I try to setup ends up in a “searching” state.
Your post doesn’t have enough details.
What did you set up exactly? Are you trying to extend an existing access point via a Mikrotik radio? What is the DHCP server?
Post a network diagram (including all devices, links, their names, function, and IP addresses on all interfaces) and the configuration you applied.

All I want is a client setup so that it can connect wireleslly to an existing AP. I want to be able to connect my laptop to the ether port of the router to connect to the internet.
Everything SEEMS to be working except for the DHCP part.
I figured if my wlan1 is connected successfully to the AP, I could do a simple test to see if DHCP was working properly. I figured I should be able to add a DHCP client on wlan1 and successfully have it connect to the DHCP server on the AP. No?
I’ve replied in the other thread. I don’t see a reason for a new thread, splicing the discussion in two is just going to be confusing the people and would replicate effort between the two threads.
Coming back to this. I can’t figure out why I can’t get a DHCP client to connect to a DHCP server on my wifi AP. My AP is a basic linksys wireless router with the DHCP server active.
Wlan1 on my router is connected to my ap successfully, however when I add a DHCP client to Wlan1 it always says “searching”
My routerboard is a 411 and I’m running a ubiquiti xr2. The interface type is reporting as Atheros AR5413, is this correct?
Any ideas? I’ve been working on this setup for almost a week now with no success.
