Hi, I am looking to setup a hotspot server on a MikroTik Routerboard that is running in ..I think… Bridge mode with WDS.
I have 2 MikroTik Routerboard dishes that are setup correctly to extend the network from one dish to the other. The setup was supplied to me - as I have very limited …ok … no knowledge of this stuff.
I looked at the documentation at: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Hotspot however I am unfamiliar with networking terminology. I tried using the Winbox IP Hotspot menu - Then clicking on the Hotspot Setup button but am stuck with what addresses to enter. I tried entering in defaults and in the end it came back with ‘invalid’. Could someone give me some help with this? Let me know what information to provide.
Thanks.
My network is as follows:
Cable modem
- Linksys (Tomato firmware router 192.168.1.1 serving DHCP addresses)
- First MikroTik Routerboard dish with static I/P of 192.168.1.253
- Second MikroTik Routerboard dish with static I/P of 192.168.1.254
Wireless Access Point attached to second MikroTilk Routerboard
