I have setup a the RB751u as a hotspot with authentication, I have run into a snag however.
setup is:
Wifi and eth1 in a brigde. (192.168.0.1/24)
the hotspot is setup on the bridge so as to allow additional AP to be connected.
Internet is provided via an ADSL router (Dlink in adjacent office) (200.200.201.1/24)
The RB751 will connect to the ADSL via eth0 and share the connection to users.
If I add eth0 into the bridge the connection works, users authenticate via radius and get connected. However from the LAN side the admin cannot login to userman then. If I remove the eth0 port from the Bridge userman is accessible. (it needs to be to setup additional users)
With the eth0 in the bridge I am also concerned that there may be a security risk as network is only separated by a different subnet if im not mistaken, and it appears now that my android device gets on the internet even without authentication.
I believe my answer is that the connection should be routed I’ve tried setting this up with no luck.
Another strange thing I if I setup the hotspot dns name as hotspot windows machine did not seem to see it, so I set it as hotspot.local and that worked. but upon changing it iOS or android would no longer redirect to the login page.
Can someone point me to a comprehensive tutorial or walk through to help me set this correctly.
