Hi,
I live on a University campus, am a student, and am entitled to free campus wireless. Unfortunately, my condo is around the corner of the wireless cloud, so my dad set up a MikroTik router a year ago as a repeater. It worked fine until two weeks ago - when the University changed some security protocols. At first, I thought I needed an encryption key and reset all the Winbox settings to start from scratch. I have learned that there is no encryption key (just my username and password), and just need to set up the router again to grab the wireless signal just around the corner and send it via my buried Cat5 cable to my home Linksys router. It seems that I’m sorta connecting (I have live incoming traffic, but can’t get online). Nothing I can find online is helping. Should be a simple job. Below are some specs of the MikroTik StationBox. Is there a good “start from scratch” manual that covers this kind of scenario? I really don’t know if I need a bridge or something else. Help!
