Guide/Setup MT 951G 2HnD client router/client access point

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I’m new to ROS, and for the life of me, I cannot succeed to configure this router to get it to do the following:

My building has an existing AP (linksys wrt54G) distributing wirelessly the internet.

In my apartment I want to use the MT 951G 2HnD as follows:

  1. Connect wirelessly the MT951G to the building AP (linksys wrt54G) which needs a Username and Login password (this I have) to access the WAN.
  2. Connect by LAN the MT951G to another router I have which will wirelessly distribute the internet wirelessly around my apt.

Is this possible to do with the MT950G? I have tried many alternatives in the MT951G webfig and do not succeed.

I searched the forum but do not seem to find a clear solution to my setup.

Would be grateful if someone could assist in pointing me in the right direction.

the RouterBOARD should be set to CPE mode, when you have that, you will need to select the AP name in the list of APs that your RouterBOARD will find.

then connect your “other AP” to one of the ethernet ports from 2-5.

that should be all.

the login will be done in your PC, as if you had connected directly to the building AP

Thanks Normis, Nope does not work. Believe me I’ve tried that many times since yesterday.

Maybe also 50 hard resets to access this router.

Also after I configure the router with my PC, disconnect the router from my PC and connect to the TP link router, the TP link router does not accept the WAN.

When I connect the MT950G back to my PC with a LAN cable to see what is going on, my PC is not able to connect to or access the router. I need to do a hard reset back to 192.168.88.1.

Ok heres my scenario with this routerboard:

open winbox
Select quickset and then CPE
Router reboots and access ROS again (settings in ROS are CPE)
In wireless select country, select the AP wirelessly, connect - OK (router shows wireless connection to the outside AP)
Reboot the router
Router connected by LAN to PC cannot be connected via Winbox or Webfig with mac login or ip login connected via lan.
Disable the lan and enable lan just loops and does not connect.
Have to hard reset to default the router to access and start over again.

Is there anything else I can set to get the connection working on the LAN side.
Why can I not access the router after setting the CPE and the router reboots (which IP or MAC should be used to access the router through webconfig or winbox?

Thanks for any help.

OK, finally got it working in the config I wanted.

Pleased with the Mikrotik device and will now buy some more for other clients.
