I’am struggling into something that I think is simple. Basically, I would like my RB951 to work like a simple commercial wifi access point, where you just plug in the cable from the switch on the RB951 LAN port and it will take a management IP and will be giving IP to the client from the switch dhcp range.
What happening is when I connect the RB951 from the switch it gives 192.168.88.* range. Please help.
For that purpose you need to reconfigure your AP. Create transparent bridge with Ethernet and Wireless interfaces in it. In Quick set it’s WISP AP option.
Thank you for your reply, I am a complete beginner with this router, can you please guide me on how to create transparent bridge with ethernet and wireless interface.
Reset configuration by CLI command [ /system reset-configuration no-defaults=yes ]
After reboot copy this configuration in terminal :
/interface bridge
add name=bridge
/interface wireless
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] band=2ghz-onlyn frequency=auto l2mtu=2290 mode=ap-bridge wireless-protocol=802.11
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge interface=ether1
add bridge=bridge interface=wlan1
/ip dhcp-client
add dhcp-options=hostname,clientid disabled=no interface=bridge
Replace :
/interface wireless security-profiles
add authentication-types=wpa2-psk eap-methods=“” management-protection=allowed mode=dynamic-keys name=profile1 supplicant-identity=“” wpa2-pre-shared-key=PASSWROD
/interface wireless set security-profile=profile1 country=COUNTRY ssid=SSID frequency-mode=regulatory-domain
/interface wireless enable wlan1
