Hi!!!
I have a brand new RB433 Wireless device that I want to configure.
I already assigned an IP address to the ether1 adapter so I can access it through Winbox.
However, the device is not broadcasting at all.
How can I configure that device to be used as an Access Point?
I don’t want to assign DHCP server, etc since my firewall will be doing that. How can I configure it so that it can get the IP addresses from the Firewall and also create a WEP or WAP passphrase for users that wish to use the network?
I am new to Mikrotik but it looks like an awesome interface to work with. Just have this few questions that I haven’t been able to solve.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks much in advance,
Teo
Hi Tom!!
Thanks much for your help.
Ok I got the Access Point up and running. However it is not connecting with the ether1 adapter to assign any DHCP addresses that are sent from my firewall across my network.
How can I tell my access point to connect with the ether1 interface so it can accept any connection from it including any DHCP server requests and also allow people to use the network.
Right now I have the access point configured by itself and no matter where I connect it on my network I can’t get a DHCP address nor connection to my network.
This is what I did on the telnet client.
/interface wireless set wlan1 ssid=test frequency=2442 band=2.4ghz-b/g mode=ap-bridge disabled=no
However this turns on the wireless access point but gives no access to my network through my ether1 interface.
Am I missing something?
Thanks much.
You should place the wireless interface (wlan1) in AP Bridge mode. Then turn on WDS on the WDS tab, use WDS dynamic.
Also create a bridge and put the ether1 and wlan1 in the bridge.
You should now have a transperent access point.
Excelent!!
Now it is working like a charm!
Thanks soo much for everything.

Teo
