CPE RB411 XR9 Configuration Help

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Im setting up a 900 mhz network, AP is a Ubiquiti RouterStation with XR9 (firmware is DD-WRT), CPE’s are Mikrotik RB411’s with XR9’s.

I am having some difficulty setting up the CPE’s for what i want to do. And here is what i want them to do:

xr9 (wlan1) on RB411 connects to AP and gets a internal IP associated to it via DHCP from the AP, then i need to bridge the wlan1 to the ethernet port, the ethernet port will be configured to be a DHCP server which will provide an IP to a laptop, or computer, or a router. iv setup a bridge and cant seem to get it to work. I have confirmed in winbox that wlan1 is connected to the AP. The main thing i cant figure out is the bridging of the 2 interfaces to each other, it cant be setup as a transparent bridge, wlan1 will need to get a IP from the AP, and ether1 needs to provide a IP to the users device via DHCP server.


Can somebody describe the steps i need to take to do this configuration?

Or, could someone post a basic CPE configuration and what has to be configured to make it all work.

This is what i have done so far and it has not worked,

set wlan1 to a static IP in the range of my AP
set ether1 to a /30 subnet
attempted bridge interface setup ( this didnt do anything for me)


My ultimate goal is to attain a class of public IP addresses but that is far off in the future, which then it will require a seperate setup.

I would like to for now setup the CPE so that ether1 does DHCP, wlan1 stays static.

First thing you should do is read the documentation about how to configure a DHCP client on the wlan interface, and a DHCP server and pool on the ethernet interface.

You’ll also want to setup NAT so the internal network can access the internet through the routerboard.

THanks, the NAT is what i needed to do to get it to work.
