Scripting Mikrotik is a Mobile station connecting to multiple SSID networks.

RouterOS Scripting

Hello,

I’m trying to script a Mikrotik radio to be able to connect to multiple SSID-PSK pairs, just like a regular laptop will do.
I’ve created an array of SSID-PSK

:global WlanSSIDPSK     {"Corporate"="srfthsrbsr" ; "Guest"="srfthhdh" ; "Office"="sfghjgfshghfs" }

/interface wireless security-profiles
:foreach SSID,PSK in=$WlanSSIDPSK do={
   add name=$SSID  mode=dynamic-keys authentication-types=wpa-psk,wpa2-psk wpa-pre-shared-key=$PSK wpa2-pre-shared-key=$PSK
}

But then I’m stuck, I don’t really know if I need to create several /wireless virtual entries for the wireless interface?
One virtual per Security profile ?
Bridge them all ?
Will the radio scan between them all and connect to the first SSID ?
If it sees 2 AP with known SSID-PSK, will it oscillate between both or will it wait until one drops before switching AP?

Kind Regards,

I do believe this does what you are attempting to do with scripts.

Yes, that’s exactly it!

Thank you ! Martin.

I think this is the full magic here:

# --- Place your SSID=PSK pairs in the WlanSSIDPSK Array below
:global WlanSSIDPSK     {"Corporate"="Verrry Secret" ; "Guest"="Not Too Secret" ; "Office"="Secret" }

#-- Saving the PSK Wifi passwords
/interface wireless security-profiles
:foreach SSID,PSK in=$WlanSSIDPSK do={
   add name=$SSID  mode=dynamic-keys authentication-types=wpa-psk,wpa2-psk wpa-pre-shared-key=$PSK wpa2-pre-shared-key=$PSK
}

#-- Linking the security profiles to the available SSIDs.  Make sure that the wireless is not tied to any particular ssid
/interface wireless set 0 ssid=""
/interface wireless connect-list
:foreach SSID,PSK in=$WlanSSIDPSK do={
	add interface=wlan1 connect=yes ssid=$SSID security-profile=$SSID
	}

Yes I could combine both :foreach loops into a single one, but I find it clearer and easier to maintain this way.

I hope this is useful to others.
