Ok, I am totally new to MikroTik and meshing. I’m totally stumped, I hope my issue is an easy fix. I will give my network layout and terminal code I used for meshing.
I have a server running pfSense, from there I go to a Mikrotik CRS125-24G-1S-RM, from there I go to an RB2011 and an RB951G. I have a wired connection from the CRS to both the 2011 and the 951G. On all three MikroTik devices, I reset the configuration. The CRS is set in Bridge mode with a static IP, the RB2011 is set as WISP AP setup in bridge mode, and the RB951G is also set up as WISP AP and in bridge mode.
When all that is set up, I open the terminal mode and run the following.
First Floor - RB2011
/interface mesh add name=Mesh-Interface
/interface bridge add name=bridge1
/interface mesh port add interface=wlan1 mesh=Mesh-Interface
/interface wireless set wlan1 mode=ap-bridge band=2ghz-b/g/n channel-width=20mhz frequency=2437 ssid=LGS scan-list=default wireless-protocol=any wds-mode=dynamic-mesh wds-default-bridge=Mesh-Interface disabled=no

Here’s the issue I am running into. It appears to work (still not sure how to test it) and then all of the sudden, I have no internet connection and then after a few minutes, the wireless connection just drops. Any ideas what I am or am not doing that would be causing this? I will post a network map when I get home, I can’t get anything to work at the moment. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
