Need some PtMP help

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi

I’m trying to set up a PtMP local network that will share internet between 3 houses.

I’ve set up the main groove as a WISP AP with nv2 and 2 Grooves (Soon to be 2 SXTs) as CPE.

If that setup is incorrect PLEASE correct me.

The way I have it currently works perfectly fine, both CPEs get IP, devices connected to it get an IP, internet works until I try to enable security:

On Quickset I set the router to CPE, find the WISP, select it and connect. It asks for the password I enter on the WISP but keeps getting stuck in “searching for network” with the connect button now turned to disconnect.

On the WISP AP’s Quick Set, I tick the security box and type in 00000000 as the pass, it accepts and goes on as normal.

So I basically just need confirmation if the settings for the network are correct and why the NV2 security wont work.

(2Ghz Only N)

what is the wireless mode set in the AP?

nv2 mode uses its own security, set nv2 tab security field on CPEs to the same on AP.

Thanks for the quick reply. I set the passsword to 00000000 but it just keeps saying “searching for network”

(The cpe has an IP because its connected via ethernet - doesn’t affect the connection without security)

I think you should try using winbox alone, setting the nv2 password manually on the CPEs, the password in quick set may refer to wpa; go to Wireless > Interfaces > wlan1 nv2 tab on the CPE.

100% correct, it worked immediately.
