Hi,
I am the proud owner of a DynaDish and I have a question:
How can I setup a DynaDish so the Ethernet port is bridged to a existing WLAN Network (non MikroTik AP)?
I want to use the DynaDish as an extension to a existing WLAN where the ethernet ports are transparently bridged to the WLAN and are able to use DHCP!
I read, that this is only possible by using 2 MikroTik devices is this true?
I tried setting the wireless interface to “station pseudobridge” and “station pseudobridge clone” and used a static ip on the device connected via ethernet with no success…I was not able to ping devices on the existig LAN!
I once made such a setup using OpenWRT where I set the AP as client and bridged the Ethernet ports to the Wlan interface and it worked!
Is such a setup possible with a mikrotik device?
Does anybody have a idea, how I can accoplish this?
In the meanwhile I have read, that this is only possible with 2 microtik devices on both sides.
It this true? Because I already made such a setup with a WRT54GL using openwrt and a 3rd party device.
Hope anybody can help me in this case!
Using AP-bridge mode you have to simply create a bridge, and add both - wlan and ether to this created bridge:
/interface bridge add
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 interface=wlan1
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether1
If you want to bridge from station side, you also have to change mode:
/interface wireless set 0 mode=station-bridge
And add bridge interfaces.
Hi,
thanks for your reply.
In the meantime I tested some variants (station-bridge, station-pseudobridge and staton-pseudobridge clone).
So far none of them worked as desired…I don’t get an IP adress on devices connected to the ethernet side of the dish.
In wireshark i see some DHCP discovers and broadcasts but no DHCP offers!
Only thing, that works, is NAT, but this is not feasible for me!
Station wds is not possible as well, because these Sophos managed Access Points do not support wds!
Any other idea, what I can try?
BR,
