Hello,
I am new to Mikrotik, after reading thru the wiki, got the new OS loaded and board booting nicely etc.
Onto the project where I am stuck at:
Need to setup a very simple Access Point for G and N using the R52Hn wifi card.
followed the following direction on the wiki on how to get a basic AP setup but got stuck on the setting up a Dhcp server part.
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Making_a_simple_wireless_AP
at this point, I already have a dhcp server on another box, I just want the routerboard to wirelessly connect a client such as an iphone, or laptop, authenticate and confirm the wifi password and then get the client device an ip address from the existing dhcp server.
I am guessing, the routerboard needs to do dhcp-relay of sorts from the wlan1 interface. But I have no idea how to go forward setting that up.
so the ether1, is setup to be a dhcp client, and on my existing dhcp server, I have setup a reservation for the mac address of ether1, so that ip is always the same.
wlan1 is setup as a AP bridge as per the wiki article above. I am not sure if I should be assigning an ip address to wlan1 instead and change the station mode to something else.
I can connect wirelessly from my iphone or laptop to the R52Hn but cannot get an ip address.
anyone got a how-to weblink to follow along?
thanks in advance.
