I am setting up a wi-fi network at our marina.
I have already installed 24 Groove AP’s and they are working well. However the back haul is not very good when traffic is high. I am currently using ethernet extenders in several locations and they are very sketchy when volume gets too big.
I was recommended to try using an OmniTik U-5HnD with a few SXT’s (G-5HPnD-HG) for the back end. However, my knowledge to make those bridge those together is limited. I have installed them on the network and they do show up in winbox, I just don’t know how to make them talk to each other.
Can anyone provide a resource online (here on the forum maybe) where someone else has a similar setup? I would also be willing to pay for consultation if anyone can recommend a good resource for that as well.
Thanks.
Assure that I get it right - you want to connect SXTs to OmniTIK via Ethernet cables and make them work in layer 2 (bridge) ?
If yes then just create bridge on Omnitik and bridge interfaces you need :
/interface bridge add name=bridge
/interface bridge port add interface=ether1 bridge=bridge1
/interface bridge port add interface=ether2 bridge=bridge1
/interface bridge port add interface=ether3 bridge=bridge1
/interface bridge port add interface=ether4 bridge=bridge1
Then setup address for bridge interface, DHCP server etc.
There are plenty information about bridge, wireless, ip address, routing… out there. Use key words + MikroTik in Google.

If no, then please draw simple scheme.
Here is a diagram of what I am trying to do. I want the OmniTik and SXT’s to be used as the backhaul for the data on the network.
I want a wireless signal between the OmniTik to the SXT’s, not ethernet cable.
