hi , after diggin internet i finally found router im looking for with the specs. i need; i have struggling to configure routeros as a wired & wireless router. i tried the search the form but there is no explanation besides the questions. I have tried the example on wiki but couldnt succeed! what i intent to do is ,
i have a fixed wireless connection. im planning to use ether1 as WAN and the other ethernet ports as routed ports. DHCP server is going to be set up on bridge interface (ether2 3 and wlan). can some one guide me thru this setup? regards..
Create a bridge, name it bridge1.
Add ether2, ether3 and wlan1 to bridge1.
Create a DHCP server on bridge1.
Now that’s what I did when I was trying to setup my router except that I couldn’t ping IPs on the ether2/3 from my WLAN address and vice versa. Must I install some sort of route rule?
Ok for any others reading this thread, I think you need to enable the proxy-ARP setting.
so what about the wan part ? i can get the ip and DNS via DHCP client but cant get further, dont i need any routings or something ?
Have you created the default route?
Under ‘IP’, then ‘Routes’. Reading some documentation, it would appear that you need to make sure that the IP range on the wlan1 is different to that of the lan1/ether1.
so lan1 = 192.168.0.1/24
and wan1 = 192.168.1/24
then you create a bridge with both those interfaces and enable DHCP to the bridge, effectively serving both the lan1 users and the wan1 users.
hope this is right.
The instructions I give is what I do all the time at tower sites. We use this implementation as “network concentrator”. As far as ARP proxy and routing, I can’t vouch for that at all. Our devices are merely managed switches at this point.
