need help with configuration for single SSID

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

hi guys,

i have a huge building which needs to be made complete WiFi enabled.

now the requirements are as follows:

  1. Multiple WiFi AP (Mikrotik) placed all over the building. Inside & Outside
  2. Single SSID throughout the building.
  3. Single Encryption Key for regular users + Hotspot for Guest users.
  4. Easy user movement without disconnection from SSID throught the building.

Please suggest how can I achieve the above mentioned entirely using Mikrotik + RouterOS

Are you going to have cable run to each AP?

yes… i will run a cable to each AP.

if you have any other option i will be glad to know that too… :slight_smile:

Wired backhaul will give you the best performance for the lowest material cost, if it’s feasible to run. It also lets you use simple single-radio client APs (e.g,. Groove A-2Hn) rather than a multi-radio RB, and power all APs from a central location (e.g., using one or more RB750UPs plugged into a UPS).

Other options are to connect the RBs wirelessly: either using WDS so that the client radios can double as backhaul (reduces performance), or using separate radios (increases cost due to additional antennas & radios, and more expensive multi-radio RBs).

Spread the aps on different non overlapping channels if using wired, same ssid and it will roam a little better.
