I’ ve a problem to allow Internet access to client network using a point to multipoint architecture.
The wireless configuration is good and the AP recognized that client are connected to it. But from a pc behind the client antenna, i can’t access the network behind the AP and i’ve a request time out when i make a ping of anything behind the AP.
Can somebody show me the right config to allow communication between network in AP side and network in clients sides?
What is your TCP/IP setting on both networks? Have you turned on NAT and made routes? Can you ping both AP clients and internal network from your AP?
I have a similar problem. Here’s my configuration :
Router (Side A) ↔ Mikrotik AP (side B) <–wirelessly–> Linksys WRT54g (side C) ↔ Client (side D)
My problem is side D could ping to side C and A but when i tried to ping to side B, it couldn’t get through so i couldn’t control my mikrotik AP through winbox or telnet. Could someone tell us what is the way to config mikrotik as AP?
I set bridge on mikrotik AP between eth1 and wlan1. Do i need to make any other setting? Thank you
Have you set IP addresses and routes on you Mikrotik box?
The easiest way it to set hotspot
/ip hotspot setup
You can do this from winbox as well, just find this option in the hotspot submenu.
Hi i have see the mikrotik hotspot setup it needs eth0 to use a block ip(such as 192.168.0.1/24) and wlan1 to use another block ip (such as 10.0.0.1/24) but what i wish to do now is to set them as an interface with just 1 block ip (such as 10.0.0.1/24), just as other outdoor AP does, because i wish to use it as an outdoor ip for my client. My configuration is :
ISP (202.xx.x) ↔ eht 0 (202.xx.xx):Mikrotik:eth 1 (10.0.0.1/19) ↔ Outdoor AP (10.0.19.xx/19) ↔ Client Router (10.0.0.xx/19)
Can i do the outdoor AP as above? Please help me, thank you very much
No, you can use fixed IP address on eth0 from any IP class. BTW, 192.168.0.1/24 is not a block of IP’s, it is just single IP address from C class network, meaning netmask 255.255.255.0. I can’t see wlan1 in your configuration you wrote. Do you have any wifi interfaces in your Mikrotik or you connect external AP to NIC interface of Mikrotik box? I don’t see a purpose of your outdoor AP here, it is better to put wifi interface in your Mikrotik and have full control of your wifi clients. The real strength of Mikrotik is if you use internal ethernet and wifi interfaces, not if you use external wifi devices.
hi acim,
These are the settings of both networks:
AP Side ( bridge(ether1,wlan1) interface:192.168.25.x, Network:192.168.25.x) <-----> Client side ( wlan1:192.168.25.x Ether1:10.10.10.x, Network:10.10.10.x)
I’ ve used a NAT(out-interface=wlan1) but the result has not changed.

From the AP i can ping client but i can’t ping the network behind client
You have to add route on your AP with destination address 10.10.10.0/24 and gateway IP address of your client wlan1 interface, 192.168.25.x.
what is the exact commands i must type to do this?
