Proper Point to Multi Point Setup

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

What I want to achieve is a 5.8 GHz point to multi point configuration.

This is going to be a 16 location wireless IP camera system using Mikrotik Gear,The camera will be plugged into a routerboard via ethernet cable. Also I want to make the camera locations a 2.4 Gig Wifi Access Point using a second Radio card and antenna. The “Head End” will have the internet access, Camera DVR’s and a few Mikrotik Router etc… The “head end” will have 2 separate networks, the 10.0.0.0/24 will be the Camera network and the 172.0.0.0/24 will be the Hot Spot network for public Internet. Can I Vlan through a Wireless Link? What is the Proper configuration ? Should I use WDS etc…

Any suggestions or comments will be appreciated.

Thank You

there is no such thing as Proper point to Multi Point, not in licence free frequencies :smiley:
you can set it up and work properly for years or start having problems the next day.

use WDS if you want a bridged wi network but i recomend routed network if you have multiple ip ranges.

browse a bit the wiki page and the manual, as we always do from time to time and you’ll find is not hard.

miktorik is ment to route the world :slight_smile:
