Configure routerBOARD 433 as Access Point

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi All,

I have just got a new 433 board with 1 wireless card. I have a Highsight with arial connected to the card the ether1 is connected to my authetication server. The wireless side is 192.168.0.1 and the ether1 is set to 192.168.2.2
My server that does the authentication is 192.168.2.1

All I want to do is configure the board to be ‘open’ (no wep, wpa, etc ) and forward all the traffic to and from the server on 192.168.2.1

The server has dhcp and all the relevant auth on it as I was using a linksys on it succesfuly and want to switch over to a better AP

I have heard of bridging and all but still cant get it right…

Please if some guru knows. Thank you in advance

bridging is never a good idea. you should configure DHCP on the router, to give out IP addresses to the wireless clients. then configure routing and NAT.

Make a bridge and add your up-link Ethernet port to the bridge and the wireless interface. Be sure that the wireless interface mode is set to “ap bridge”. That will get you a basic access point. If you want to prevent clients from talking to each other over the wireless card, disable default forward as well.
