Routing between interfaces RB433

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

Hey guys,

I got my RB433 up and running.
I have my ether1 with an IP address of 10.0.0.3. I already added the Gateway, DNS and routes.
The device seems to be pinging OK to the outside world.
Then added a wlan1 connection, with an IP address of 172.132.16.1/24.
In that interface I also added a DHCP server that leases addresses from 172.132.16.10-253.
DHCP server seems to be working fine, it also gives the public DNS servers.
Now, I have the problem that the wireless network can’t access the internet on ether1.
What am I missing so that wlan1 traffic can access the public gateway of ether1 traffic which is 10.0.0.1.
I tried adding a static route in Winbox but so far it doesn’t work.
What am I missing?
I need to give my wlan1 gateway access to the other network so it can route traffic out of the network.

Thanks much,

Teo

As 172.132.16.1/24 is not public network, you need NAT masquerade rule,

/ip firewall nat add action=masquerade out-interface=ether1 chain=srcnat

Does this mean I don’t need to have the bridge enabled?
Now I have bridge enabled and DHCP seems to be working well over the WLAN network.
Do I just add the NAT rule without the bridge?
Thanks much for your help so far.

Regards,
Teo

Why do you use then separate subnets on Ethernet and WLAN interfaces, if you have bridge on the router ?

I guess the problem is that your client use network 172.132.16.0/24 and gateway attached to the public interface does not have any information about this network.

a) use the same 10.0.0.0 for the clients, when router is operating as bridge;
b) add masquerade rule and disable bridging;
c) add route rules and disable bridging.
