How do I disable firewall on my MT router to use DHCP from m

RouterOS General

Hi, I have a MT router configured to do WiFi WDS Bridge, it works, but I would like to be more transparent by getting an IP address from main Router that has DHCP enabled, there by removing double NAT and MT firewall, how can I do this?

thanks!

Goto IP → DHCP Client and enable it on the appropriate interface. Make sure that your DHCP server is turned off. The go to IP → Firewall → Filters/ NAT and turn off all of those rules. If you still need help after that will need to post your settings so that we have a better idea of how you are setup.

ok, but will the clients that I connect on the LAN ports of the Mikrotik will get the DHCP from the main router not the MT? that is basically what I want, I have the DHCP client enabled on the WAN(WiFi) and it gets an IP and I have internet, but my network is the same as the MT 192.168.88.0 I want it to be 192.168.1.0(main router network) on anything that I connect to the lan ports on the MT.

thanks for the reply :smiley:

If you want both routers and all hosts on the same network, you will need to:

Goto Bridge and create/ modify the bridge. Add/ modify the bridge so that all ports are in the same bridge group.
Change the DHCP Client so that it is on the interface of the bridge (DHCP- Server off).
You will still remove the firewall filter and NAT rules.

Now all devices should be on the same broadcast domain and the hosts should be receiving an IP address from the first router :smiley:

All you need for Internet access is a valid IP address, valid Gateway, and, in most cases, some sort of NAT. Everything just edifies those routing statements. How far can you ping from the host? Can you ping 8.8.8.8 (Google’s public DNS serever)? How is the first device configured?
