Need help setting up a WISP

RouterOS Wireless Networking

Hi Guys,

First post here !

I have been trying for days to get my Dual AP WISP working and only getting more frustrated.

Here’s what I have.

Router-1 10.10.0.1/24 - internet router

MikroTik 433 :- AP1
Ehter1 10.10.0.3/24
wlan1 5ghz - 10.10.10.1/24 in station mode
wlan2 2.4ghz 10.10.1.1/24 in ap-bridge mode

MikroTik 433 :- AP2
wlan1 5ghz - 10.10.10.2/24 in ap-bridge mode
wlan2 2.4ghz 10.10.2.1/24 in ap-bridge mode

I have established a link between the two 5ghz and from winbox they can ping each other, but only if the wlan1 interface is selected. the 5ghz link is used to connect the 2 AP’s so that users conected to AP2 will be able to reach AP 1 and the internet.

I have enable RIP on all interfaces and even set the neighours and networks on both MikroTik routers, I can see that routes are being exchanged, but for the life of me I can’t get routing to work.

e.g if in winbox I on AP1 I use the ping tool and select the ether1 interface to ping the IP of the wlan1 interface I get request timedout. and the same to wlan2 or wlan1 to wlan2.

Can anyone here see my problems?

Cheers

what version of MT ar you using? What are you NAT rules? are you using hotspot? where is the DHCP server? how are you authenticating users? Can you access the internet from the AP that is connected to the internet? Can you connect a laptop to the computer that is connected to the internet and get to the internet? As you see, you did not post enogu information to provide you with any meaningfull assistance. I know that the online manual and wiki is designed to be frustrating to newbies. For example, I know there is a wiki that walks you thru seting up an AP and a client for the first time, including NATing, but for the life of me I cant find it anywhere. Anyway. Try posting you configs, and youll get plenty of help

Hi thanks for the reply,

I have figured out my problem, while setting up the default route 0.0.0.0/0 I bound the gateway interface only 1 interface the ether1,
When I clear this setting and only set the interface to use to ether1 it all worked.

cheers for the response
