Hi, I hate to create another topic after just starting one but I lack the “terminology” to understand what is going on with the equipment and most importantly why.
You see, I have a small wireless system setup and running and I would like to improve it. I have two Mikrotik 532a’s. Each has two radios a 2.4 and a 5.8.
So I send ethernet up to the roof unit and out the 2.4ghz to clients and then 5.8mhz to the other rely. That relay has a 2.4ghz link to clients as well.
I authenticate my users through hotspot for some and most users through ppoe (using linksys routers loaded with sevasoft). Both hotspot/pppoe talk to my radius server.
I want to add more relays but I do not know how to find the answers I am looking for. Such as:
- Is there a bennfit for me to just add radios to the 5gh link (daisy chain) and hang 2.4ghz off each one.
1a) if I just expand this way do i just setup wds on the 5ghz link and does this require all units to be able to see each other.
- How about not doing any 5ghz links and just doing wds on the 2.4ghz link?
2a) do all the 2.4ghz wds links have to see each other?
or
- Do i setup wds on both 5.8 and 2.4ghz links for roaming and backhaul to every tower?
Regards,
Michael
