simple connection between to RB400's

RouterOS General

Hi,

I have in previous installations been able to connect two WLAN’s together by setting up the one as AP_bridge and the other as station_WDS for bridging purposes.

My challenge now is setting up a private building to building network with routing. My setup as follows:-

RB “A”

AP_Bridge

Ethernet1 - ip address = 192.168.83.253/24
WLAN1 - ip address = 192.168.11.1/30

No WDS, No default gateway

RB “B”

Station

Ethernet1 - ip address = 192.168.81.253/24
WLAN1 - ip address = 192.168.11.2/30

No WDS, No default gateway

I “scan” from station interface and connect to AP_Bridge by verifying MAC from list
No “registration” or “access list” appears for the station on AP_Bridge

I cannot ping remote WLAN interface IP from any side

Why does the “station” not “register” with the AP_Bridge?

Thanks,

Tom

enable wireless debug log:

and see what’s written in the log when it tries to connect (check both side logs)

Praise God for you! The WLan was picking up a stronger other node and defaulted to that instead of the one I wanted. I saw all this in the log and promptly specified a connect list. All is Working!!!


Thanks…
