I just purchased RB433AH and i want to setup hotspot even i follow step by step which is mention on your online help more then 10 time but fail to find any solution.
Ti is packed in box unit were 1 Lan output and three wireless anteena cable output and two lan ports are within the box. I connected the cable to Lan1
I have two NIC in my windows XP system one is connected to Internet always on 25Mbps and i enable sharing on, on internet connection card and second card is connected to Lan2 which is connect to RB433AH Lan port.
I have three wireless cards installed in RB433AH and i upgraded routeros to 4.2 its having pre loaded level 5 license.
can some fix it for me via teamviewer please i need this support very urgent.
I suggest you re-organize your network.
Let internet go directly into ether1 of your RB433AH. Setup dhcp client or pppoe client or static ip, dns and gateway - as the case may be, on ether1.
You can bridge the 3 wlan interfaces and then setup hotspot on the bridge; that’s one option.
From the ether2 interface, you can run lan to your windows xp pc as a dhcp client or with a static natted ip.
Further help will depend on what you decide to do.
You can bridge the 3 wlan interfaces and then setup hotspot on the bridge; that’s one option.
Because in my box only one LAN is available outside the box and two LAN ether2 and ether3 is inside the box and its sealed box.
I have these option available outside the box.
one ether1 socket out of the box connected to winxp ICS interface.
Three wlan cards antenna socket out of the box now for testing purpose i connect wlan3 to 16 Dbi Omani antenna.
Way I see it you need to: ‘unseal’ that case/create access to one of the other ether ports OR get a wlan adapter for your pc (untidy!) OR get another RB with a case that allows you access to all the ports.
In my system i have two NIC cards and one Wlan USB adapter i am using that adapter to get connected to RB433AH.
Is hotspot setup available with the below given options… First NIC onnected to 25 Mbps (Windows Internet Connection Sharing Enabled)
Second NIC connected to RB433AH (having IP address 192.168.0.1 to share internet with other systems in 192.168.0.X services, This also asign IP to RB433AH to its eather1.
Third I have USB dongal Wlan adapter for testing RB433AH hotspot
Any comments on the same…?
Or any one can do this with Teamviewer 1st Nov2009 sunday (Indian standard time around 10:30 AM)
I assure you, the RB433AH will most likely do a much better job in managing your network than your windows pc. But if you insist: You may either bridge all the RB interfaces (ether1, wlan1, wlan2, wlan3) if you don’t want the RB to perform any other special functions OR bridge only the wlan interfaces and nat them behind the ether1 interface (this means your wireless clients on the hotspot are doubly natted which may break some of their services):
/interface bridge add name=bridge1
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 port=ether1 (you should exclude this if you don’t intend bridging ether)
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 port=wlan1
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 port=wlan2
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 port=wlan3
If your windows ICS is providing dhcp and dns:
Setup dhcp client on bridge1 (if all interfaces are bridged) or ether1 (if only wlan interfaces are bridged) of your RB; ensure use-peer-dns and add-default-route are checked:
/ip dhcp-client add interface=bridge1 (or ether1)
Confirm that bridge1 (or ether1) now has a dynamically assigned ip (/ip address print); that the default routes are added and reachable (/ip route print); and that the dns settings are present and correct (/ip dns print).
If your windows ICS is not providing dhcp or dns:
First confirm ip address, subnet, gateway and dns settings of NIC 2 on your pc. Assuming ip=192.168.0.1 and subnet=255.255.255.0
Assign static ip to bridge1 (or ether1):
/ip address add address=192.168.0.x interface=bridge1 (or ether1)
If you bridged all 4 interfaces, skip this step.
If you only bridged the wlan interfaces, you’ll need to setup a dhcp server on that bridge:
/ip dhcp-server setup
(specify interface=bridge1)
Run hotspot setup:
/ip hotspot setup
(regardless of which bridging option you opted for specify interface=bridge1)
That’s the basic setup.
Sorry, I won’t be available around the time you specified.
