point to point wireless security

[zaifu]

hi guys, need your assistance here.
the scenario : 2 building interconnected with a repeater in between: hardware - RB133 + R52 + R52H(repeater) + 802.11a + 17dBi antenna. RouterOS - bridge + wds. they want different subnets at each location eg. 192.168.1.x & 192.168.2.x.

my problem :

1. to secure the wireless transmission.
2. to have the 2 subnets.

Please clarify, why WDS bridging if there are two subnets?

Hi,

to 1: WPA7WPS2 security works with WDS
to 2: If you use 2 different networks on both sides, what should a bridge do here? Why don’t you use the routing functionallity from RouterOS? This works also with WLAN-Interfaces and wireless security.

All explained in the manual.

I bridge wlan1 and ether1. should I remove this and use the routing function? about the security, I tried static key on all routers - it doesn’t work. I never use any type of encryption before. any suggestion.
