i am new to Mikrotik and was searching on how to make a point to multipoint configuration, i have found that one is used as an apbridge mode and the other is as a station, so for example, if i was working on a mikrotik that needs to connect to 3 mikrotiks, which one is the apbridge and which is the station,
can you please explain?
Thanks in advance!
ap-bridge is the one serving multiple stations. And that happens to be default wireless mode. If you want mikrotik box to act as client of an AP, you have to change its mode to some variety of “station” … you can read about differences in manual.
so the 1st mikrotik will be in apbridge mode, and each of the other 3 will act as station mode?
Correct. But do read about different station modes … the usual “station” mode might not give you the functionality you are after …
ohh ok, thank you so much,and concerning the configuration, it is the same as point to point, but instead we’re adding more stations, right?, so each station has the same configuration but different ip, right?
That would make management easier.
ok, thanks!
