Hi Guys,
Im doing an install for a small guest house.
They have 7 bedrooms dotted around a central pool area and then an office inside the main building.
After doing a site test with some test equipment and insidder I have decided to use
- 1x RB750 as main router in office
- 1x WAP on outside of office over looking the pool area and bedrooms
- 1x WAP in each bedroom (7x bedrooms)
As cabling to each bedroom is NOT viable I have decided to use a Mikrotik MESH between all the WAPS to spread the internet around the property.
I have programmed all the WAPS and had them on test in our office for 2 weeks and all seems fine.
The problem I have run into is that at present the first (cabled) WAP is set as the DHCP server for the mesh network.
Ideally I would want the RB750 in the office to be the "Master Router"running the DHCP for the whole network including the MESH and also it would be the Gateway for the internet connection.
I thought I needed to use DHCP relay, but having gone through multiple walk throughs I now think Im going in the wrong direction.
I need the WAPS (MESH) and the RB750 to all be on the same IP range as the property has multiple SONOS systems running and I need the client to be able to open the app on his iphone when attached to ANY of the devices and browse the SONOS devices.
I hope this makes sense?
Interenet Router (192.168.15.1) in to Port 1 of RB750
port 1 of RB750 (internet)
port 2 to Sonos via cable
port 3 to Sonos via cable
port 4 to Sonos via cable
port 5 to first (primary MESH) WAP via cable
