We just got our Mikrotik device today and it will be used for setup on the boat. The harbour has a wifi-network, so what we basically want to do is put the mikrotik on top of the boat and use the cable to plug in to an AP in the boat.
I was trying to get on internet via the ethernet cable and I try to search on this forum for a solution. I did found a solution which I thought was correct and they linked to the following page http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Connect_to_an_Available_Wireless_Network. This seemed like the correct solution, but when following all the steps I stumbeled upon some missing lines (like the wlan1 in DHCP Client). I tried several things, but I cannot seem to find the correct solution…
Any help is welcome!
Note: I tried every solution after a factory reset and I am using Winbox to connect to my device.
Do you know the password of the AP on the harbour you want to connect your GrooveA 52HPn to?
If answer is yes, you need to winbox into the GrooveA 52HPn
Reset the GrooveA 52HPn to default again with the reset button or via Winbox,
Use default setup config
Now Select on the left navigation menu
Quick Set > Drop down menu top left change to > CPE > Find the SSID of the AP on Harbour > Select it > Enter Password
You now should be able to connect to the Harbour AP with the GrooveA 52HPn,
Select on the left navigation menu
IP > DHCP CLIENT
DHCP CLIENT > Interface Wan1 or what ever your wireless network is called
I tried as you said, but when selecting DHCP CLIENT, I only see bridge-local.
So I tried to change bridge-local into wlan1.
Then, when adding the firewall rules I got the following:
“–in/out-interface matcher not possible when interface (wlan1) is slave - use master instead (bridge-local)”
and same for ether1
Note: I did again a factory reset and used the default setup config
Now for the second part.. I have to connect the ethernet cable to my AP. So I thought if I can access the internet on my desktop (by connecting the ethernet cable to my desktop), then I can setup my AP. Problem is however.. I cannot access the internet this way.. He can connect to a network, but is not connected..
Cool, so if you connect the GrooveA 52HPn via ethernet cable to your desktop you have internet access but if you connect the GrooveA 52HPn to another Router/AP your wireless devices have no internet access?
What is the Router/AP you are using and do you know if its in Bridge mode or Router mode and what is the network address of that Router/AP
Okay… weird stuff happening. I was disconnected and when I restarted the quick set was back to router in stead of bridge. wlan1 port was added to bridge and ip > DHCP Client was back to bridge-local.
When changing everything back to normal, as you described I get the same error message, but only at ether1 …
Looking at your last message, I changed that rule (ether1) into bridge-local but.. still no internet…
I tried it again this morning. Using the ip I cannot connect. (Tried 20 times, no success)
When clicking the … Button I see the Mikrotik after waiting like 10 secs.
When clicking the mac address appears and 1 out of 3 times winbox starts, the other times I get an error that he cannot connect.
When accessing the Mikrotik, is automatically disconnects after 5 seconds or so…
Thanks for your pictures. I am now on the harbour and am trying to make things work. Unfortenately, with your solution, I do not have any internet via the ethernet cable
Ok If you can winbox in and go to terminal and type in
export file= harbour-script
Drag the harbour-script from files in winbox onto you desktop and open it with notepad++ or sublime text editor, copy and paste the content here, hide any passwords and any other private info you want to
