Hi there,
I’m having a problem here setting up a Mikrotik RB750 as a hotspot for my 3 Ubiquiti Unifi units. I want to setup a hotspot but i cannot use the built-in hotspot in Unifi because it needs a PC to be up and running and i can’t have a PC running just for this.
I’ve created two WLANs on Unifi, a private one, which i haven’t set a VLAN for it, and a public one, with VLAN set as 256.
On the RB750, i’ve created a new VLAN port named guest_wifi, attached to port eth2, which is the port where my network switch is connected to, and my 3 Unifi are connected to this switch.
I’ve setup a DHCP server to watch on guest_wifi, and setup the hotspot on Mikrotik to watch on this same port.
When i join the public WLAN from a client, i’m getting my ip correctly from DHCP as well as all the configuration my DHCP server provides (DNS, GATEWAY,etc).
But when i try to open any website, let’s say, www.ubnt.com, it tries to redirect to Mikrotik but cannot connect to it.
I tried adding a rule to the hotspot’s Wallen Garden, to allow all connections to the address of the guest_wifi interface. After i’ve added this rule, i can ping the guest_wifi interface from a connected client, but a traceroute would end in the ip of the guest_wifi interface with a “destination net unreachable”.
What am i doing wrong?
