Connect to multiple WAP's

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

Hi

I have got two cameras which I need to connect to. They both produce their own Wireless Access Point and both have the same static IP address which I cannot change.

In the past I have connected to both cameras at the same time by using two hAP AC2, each connected to a camera. One hAP routes all of the traffic to the camera through a different IP address. Both routers are then connected to my network which allows the host PC to talk to both cameras at the same time through two different IP addresses (One IP is the IP of the camera and the other is the masquerade address that the router has set up)

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could do this with one router? the hAP AC2 does have two WiFi adapters but I couldn’t work out how to specify that the masquerade address should route to an IP on a specific adapter. (Remember both cameras have the same IP address. Any thoughts would be welcome.

Thanks

Is this connected via ethernet ports?
Without Mikrotik I always did it with multiple routers or virtual routers, like your setup.
Maybe have a look at this. Using routing-mark you have multiple routers in Mikrotik, which can handle identical IP addresses differently.
http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/port-to-interfacing/97096/1 … supposing your camera has IP address 192.168.0.2, it should be readable.
