hey friends,
i have a RB750 with an access point atached to it
i enabled hotspot and is perfectly working with local users
ok, i decided to plug another access point but wirelessly to the other existing access point for wiring something remotly
i enabled routing for remote subnet
my actual RB750 subnet is 172.29.0.0/24
and remote subnet is 10.25.0.0/24
so, the wireless interface of the remote AP has a ip address of 172.29.0.3 and the existing ap is 172.29.0.2 while routerBoard is at 172.29.0.1
the 10.25.0.0/24 is assigned to the lan interface of remote ap.
i fighted a lot with this issue but finaly remembered hotspot
i disabled it in /ip hotspot disable numbers=0
and ping started flowing
if i enable it aguin, no ping
BTW, i autorised 172.29.0.0/29 (my static ip including ipphones) and remote subnet 10.25.0.0/24 (not a hotspot subnet) using:
/ip hotspot ip-binding
add address=172.29.0.13 disabled=no type=bypassed
add address=10.25.0.0/24 disabled=no type=bypassed
add address=172.29.0.0/29 disabled=no type=bypassed
here’s the hotspot config:
/ip hotspot
add address-pool=dhcp_pool1 addresses-per-mac=2 disabled=yes idle-timeout=5m
interface=ether2-master-local keepalive-timeout=none name=hotspot1
profile=hsprof1
/ip hotspot user profile
set default idle-timeout=none keepalive-timeout=2m name=default shared-users=
1 status-autorefresh=1m transparent-proxy=no
/ip hotspot ip-binding
add address=172.29.0.13 disabled=no type=bypassed
add address=10.25.0.0/24 disabled=no type=bypassed
add address=172.29.0.0/29 disabled=no type=bypassed
/ip hotspot service-port
set ftp disabled=no ports=21
/ip hotspot user
add disabled=no name=ios password=ios profile=default
add disabled=no name=mohamed password=mohamed profile=default
any help is welcome
I have RB750 either and I have two different Hotspot with two different IP range, one is local hotspot and the other is public hotspot and everything is working good.
sory but your both hotspot is insame routerboard
so that’s an internal routing
my hotspot is in rb750
but i have a wireless ap wrt160nl for wireless access
but aditionaly i have a d-link dir615 that’s a client of my wrt160nl
if the d-link connect they do have a wlan and a lan interface
the wlan interface is in the same subnet at my rb
the lan is not, is 10.25.0.0/24
so in my rb:
i route my 10.25.0.0/24 to my dir615 ip (172.29.0.3)
and in my dir615 i have default gateway to my mikrotik
so if hotspot is up, my rb can not route traffic to this d-link
but if hotspot is disabled, they can route.
so something wrong with the hotspot.
thank you.
When you enable the hotspot, it also enables the 1:1 NAT. It translates all addresses outside its address pool to one on its localnet. To see what it is doing:
/ip hotspot host
Only the to-address is seen on the router side of the hotspot.
