Hey guys I am new to MikroTik devices and to networking in all…
Schema: MT1 – first mikrotik main gateway
MT2 – second mikrotik, repeating MT1
MT3 - third mikrotik, repeating MT2
I am experiencing problem with enlarging LAN with using a repeaters. Last week I set a MikroTiks as following
MT1 - Main Gateway
[b]DHCP[/b]:on
[b]Mode[/b]= ap-bridge
[b]Wlan1[/b]= static wds, freq 2452, band 2ghz-b/g/n, country Poland
[b]Wds1[/b]=wds-address: MT2 address master=wlan1
[b]Bridge-local:[/b] port wlan1 wds1
MT2
[b]Mode[/b]=ap-bridge
[b]Wlan1[/b]=static wds, freq 2452, band2ghz-b/g/n, country Poland, wds static
[b]Wds1[/b]=wds-address: MT1 address master=wlan1
[b]Bridge-local[/b]= port wlan1 wds1
When I connected MT2 to MT1 everything worked fine! Wds were registered on both MT’s and the network has been broadcasted.
Today I wanted to enlarge it even more adding MT3. So I added to MT2
wds2=wds-address:MT3 address, added this wds2 to bridge-local
Then I set MT3:
[b]Mode[/b]=ap-bridge
[b]Wlan1[/b]=static wds, freq 2452, band 2ghz-b/g/n, country Poland, wds static
[b]Wds1[/b]=wds-address: MT2 address, master=wlan1
[b]Bridge-local[/b]= port wlan1 wds1
Unfortunately connection between MT3 and MT2 is estabilished, winbox shows that wds’es are registered on both routers, the network is broadcasted but when I try to connect to it the IP addresses are not downloaded from main gateway with dhcp turned on and even when I entered them manually I have no internet access. Tried to set MT2 and MT3 in station-wds modes and I managed to get to the point when they were connected in CPE mode but the wds couldnt get registered in this mode so I came back to play with ap-bridge mode.
I am using 3 MT’s RouterBoard 751U HnD. As I said before im new to networking and especially RouterOS which on the beginning, at least for me, is complicated as hell..
