More than 1 DHCP Clients possible on RouterOS?

RouterOS General
1

Hello,

I got a MikroTik RouterBOARD cAP ac. At the moment I am experimenting on it to make it work as a WLAN station. Also I’d like to… uhm run 2 DHCP Clients on it, because I want it to connect to 2 gateways at the same time. Is that even possible?

It doesn’t work at the moment. I created another bridge and assigned the new bridge to one more DHCP-Client (also created additionally). wlan1 interface (2GHz mode): I chose wds slave and selected the second bridge. AP is running according to the status. I created a security profile to connect my MikroTik (as station) to the external AP. Unfortunately the 2nd DHCP-Client seems not to get the IP adress for my wlan1 interface, thus I don’t get the additional DNS.
What should I do?

If I understood you correctly … you want to connect your cAP as client (station) to two distinct APs? That’s only possible if one AP is running on 2.4GHz and another on 5GHz, but in that case you have two interfaces (default names wlan1 and wlan2) and you can start one DHCP client per interface. If you’re trying to connect to two APs both running on same frequency band (2.4GHz or 5GHz), then that’s not possible (one radio can only connect to one AP).
