PPPoE server on WLAN

RouterOS Wireless Networking

hi,

I currently have RB133 with one R52 set as AP. On interfaces wlan1 I have set server pppoe with local address 192.168.1.1 in profile. My users have address 192.168.1.0/24. On eth1 is address 192.168.0.20/24 this interfaces is connected to adsl modem.
Now I want add wlan2 set as AP
What should I do?

  • add pppoe serwer on wlan2 with address 192.168.1.1 which is set in profile.
  • add bridge wlan1 and wlan2. pppoe serwer set on bridge
  • add pppoe server on wlan2 and set different class of address
2
  • add pppoe serwer on wlan2 with address 192.168.1.1 which is set in profile.

This option gives you segmentation between wlan1/wlan2 interfaces but allows you to use the same address pool. I have multiple routers setup with 6+ PPPoE interfaces all using the same PPPoE profile. I do this to maximize efficient usage of public IP addresses, and to achieve layer 2 segmentation of each port.

I’d advise against using the 192.168.1.xx network for your clients, linksys, netgear, and other common SOHO grade routers use this as a default network address and could create routing problems. If you’re going to use private address spaces use something from 10/8 or 172.16/12.
