Nv2 PTP + regular 802.11 AP, feasible?

Is it possible to connect two Mikrotik Routers using Nv2 and have each Router also accept Wi-Fi clients?


Internet  ---->  Router 1  ----(Nv2)----> Router 2
                          \					   \
                           \----> WLAN1		 \---->WLAN2

What would be the maximum transmission speed that can be achieved between the two routers?

Sure it is. The radios are independent. The performance cannot be forseen but will not be affected by the fact that one radio uses nv2 and the second uses 802.11.

I would never ever use two radios cards into one board for this type of application, wireless protocol will make no difference when RF proximity effect will simply render your PTP throughput to less than useless as the traffic on the AP card increases?

(1) You could use long 2-5M RF leads to separate Antenna’s but in doing so expect actual signal loss of 4-6dB?

(2) Use 2.4GHz for PTP and 5GHz for AP - this may work for you

(3) Remember almost everything is done by software in Mikrotik - so from this having a single board doing PTP
and AP processing will no doubt slow it down - also on board failure - you lose both PTP + AP

(4) How many clients do you expect to have on each wireless card


I have a simple policy of one board = one radio card?
