how to create a wifi area using RB433

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

dear all
first of all sorry for my poor language!
I have 3 RB433 (routerOS 5.) to put in a large area (i will call area A ,about 200mtx400mt, in an airport. so not clear area but with obstacle like cars, building and plans ) to create a wifi area.
Every RB443 will be conntected to a VLAN (that I call BRS) by interface “ether1”, and I will use interface wlan1 for wifi signal in area A. between wlan1 and ether1 there is a bridge that I call BRIDGE.
BRS VLAN provide DHCP.
I will use WinBox to manage RB433.
Can I have help about configuration of every RB433?
I have some problem on IP adressing, MAC and all other parameters.
Every ether1 on RB433, must have a IP address several to the other?
If I call AP1 AP2 and AP3, every ether1 must have an ip like:
AP1 198.168.88.1
AP2 198.168.88.2
AP3 198.168.88.3
thanks to all that will help me

Hello, you have to assign the IP to the bridge interface.

First create a bridge. Add erher1 and wlan1 port to the bridge
Add the ip to the bridge interface instead of to the ether interface.
Add the gateway to internet in /ip/route
Add DNS in /IP/DNS
you have to create a vlan interface that will be related to bridge interface..

I’m not sure if you have to add the IP to vlan interface or bridge. Try both.

I hope this helps.

dear ibersystems

thanks for your reply!!!
In few words :

  • I create BRIDGE1 (2 and 3) and I add to him ETHER1 (2 and 3) and WLAN1 (2 and 3).
  • I assign 192.168.0.1/2/3 to BRIDGE 1 (2 and 3)
  • AP will connected to internal LAN (BRS) by ETHER1/2/3, and there is not internet acces, but only to a server for a software service

Is this correct?

if you don’t want internet access, deny all the traffic to internet in ip firewall.

I recomend you to look in the wiki, because there are lot’s of examples of firewall rules.


thanks,
