Mesh with Hotspot, Multiple mesh Portals

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

I have setup a HWMP Mesh network at an RV Park. The Picture below is a rough drawing of what it looks like. This is currently working, however I would like to know how to configure this setup to have multiple mesh portals. I want to provide 2 different internet connections on different routers, that will provide more overall bandwidth. This seems simple enough when a hotspot is not involved, however, I need this to work in a hotspot situation. The hotspot is currently set up on the Middle AP, which is where the original internet feed is connected. I have another internet feed connected to the Top AP, but since my users connected to any of the AP’s have to go through the middle AP to authenticate to the hotspot, all the internet traffic flows out the Middle AP. How can I make the users connected to the Top AP flow out the internet feed which is connected to it? Can this be done with 1 central hotspot server (Middle AP), or do I have to set up a seperate hotspot server on the Top AP to make this work?

Thank you for helping with this.

HI Rumiclord

Is it possible to post your setup, I need similiar setup with hotspot but my mesh experience is limited and examples is few. Thanks

**What exactly are u needing help with, I use the HWMP mesh using the mesh tab, my frequencies are on the pic. Using the hotspot, I had to set up admin mac’s in the mesh interface on the top and bottom routers and put that in the ip bindings in the hotspot, to allow the routers to pass traffic since they are behind a hotspot, I got the hotspot server on the mesh interface on the middle router. If you have more questions about how to make this happen let me know.
