Help: get two rb133 boards communicate wirelessly

Hi,

I have two rb133 boards, each contains two wireless cards.
I’ve been trying to get two boards communicate with each other,
and have some problems.

Here is my setup:

board1: wlan1 mode ap-bridge
wlan2 mode station, connected with wlan2 (in ap-bridge mode) of board2
has a bridge (bridge1) that contains wlan1, wlan2, ether1 as ports
bridge has static IP address 131.101.216.200

board2: wlan1 mode ap-bridge
wlan2 mode ap-bridge (I see board1 wlan2 registered with it)
has a bridge (bridge1) that contains wlan1, wlan2, ether1 as ports
bridge has static IP address 131.101.216.201

A laptop (a STA) is connected with board1 wlan1, and I can ping from the laptop
the board1 bridge IP address 131.101.216.200.

But I CAN NOT ping the board2 bridge IP address. I thought I should be
able to ping it given my setup – I expect that the ping packet would travel as
laptop----(wireless)---->board1/wlan1->board1/bridge->board1/wlan2
----(wireless)---->board2/wlan2->board2/bridge …

Could you advise on what is missing here in the setup. Thanks a lot.

Reason you are using public addresses?

replaced the bridge IP addresses with 192.168.0.1/24 and 192.168.0.2/24. Same problems. Any suggestions? Thanks.
