Hi,
I’ve recently acquired two Mikrotik (RIC/522) 5.1-5.8Ghz Integrated Router Antennae. I’m trying to acheive connectivity between two sites with a line-of-site distance of approximately 4kms. This point-to-pont connection is supposed to connect 2 LAN’s so that they can use a central data base. I’m new to Mikrotik equipment and RouterOS.I would like some assistance with the configurations. I can’t seem to get the configurations right. Thanks.
Hi,
Please post your settings.

This is what I’ve configured on either side:
LAN1 -IP address
ADDRESS NETWORK BROADCAST INTERFACE
0 192.168.0.1/24 192.168.0.0 192.168.0.255 ether1
1 10.0.0.1/24 10.0.0.0 10.0.0.255 wlan1
IP Route:
DST-ADDRESS PREFSRC G DIST INTERFACE
0 ADC 10.0.0.0/24 10.0.0.1 wlan1
1 ADC 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.0.1 ether1
2 A S 0.0.0.0/0 r 10.0.0.2 wlan1
Interface wireless is set to “p2p”
LAN 2 - IP address
ADDRESS NETWORK BROADCAST INTERFACE
0 192.168.0.2/24 192.168.0.0 192.168.0.255 ether1
1 10.0.0.2/24 10.0.0.0 10.0.0.200 wlan1
IP Route:
DST-ADDRESS PREFSRC G DIST INTERFACE
0 ADC 10.0.0.0/24 10.0.0.2 wlan1
1 ADC 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.0.2 ether1
2 A S 0.0.0.0/0 r 10.0.0.1 wlan1
I can ping the gateways from either side but cannot png the IP addresses. I think I’m supposed to set up NAT. How do you go about this based on the above settings? Thanks.
Use this configuration example for transparent network over wireless nodes:
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Transparently_Bridge_two_Networks
Do not forget to set NAT (masquerade) rule at the AP router,
‘ip firewall nat add action=masquerade out-interface=iface_name’.
Not at all, you are trying to route from 192.168.0.0/24 to 192.168.0.0/24 and that is not possible. You must assign a different subnet on the other side i.e. 192.168.1.0/24 or anything else than the subnet 192.168.0.0/24.
Ok…now I’ve managed to set-up a transparent bridge between the two networks. I can ping and access machines on either network. LAN 1 has an internet connection which needs to be shared to LAN 2. Access is via DNS and the adddresses are 80.240.196.24 and 80.240.192.14. How do I go about this? Thanks.
Add both DNS servers IP address and default gateways IP address to the DHCP servers configuration. If you don’t have one, just add it to each clients TCP/IP configuration.
Hello,
Somebody can tell me what mode is the most perfect, for better speed with 2 RIC/522 in a 2 km link?
I have tested an “ap-bridge” - “ap-bridge” link with WDS, but i get only 5-6Mbit speed with bandwidth test
I have few links with “ap-bridge” - “client” no WDS mode and is working better than another settings.
I will test the “bidge” - “bridge” WDS connection, but i think with WDS the speed is lower, no?
thanks.

Can you turn nstreame on and set framer policy and compression
I don’t think wds works with nstream but eoip will
WDS works with Nstreme in AP ↔ station-wds configuration (Ap-bridge ↔ Ap-bridge does not work), as well WDS does not work with Dual Nstreme.
@sergejs
do you have experinces,...what's better security [block] for other APs will try to connect to our network, i assumsy used AP-bridge to AP-bridge...?
thanks again, you are best friend and your time.! 
and give me your experince for a little security....
balimore,
AP-bridge cannot connect to another AP-bridge with default settings, connection between AP is possible with enabled WDS. If you have WDS enabled between AP to secure connection:
Disable ‘default-authentication’ and add WDS peers MAC-address to ‘connect-list’ (! not to access-list).
Enable encryption WPA or WPA2 between wireless interfaces.
ofcourse, with WDS...and LOS
maybe next 17 days i will make new link AP-AP around 6,3km
Thanks for you experince, when you have other experince don't forget me for your advice...
