I use the mikrotik stuff to build hotspots and beam connections. Now I want to build a simple broadband router: ethernet in and 2.4 WLAN to the clients (RouterBoard500 + 1 R52). DHCP + NAT. Just like the simple SOHO WLAN routers you can buy… . Do not need WEP, WPA … The WLAN broadband router has to serve wireless clients that want to connect to the hotspot I made.
thanks!

so, should be simple. what is the question anyway 
?
On the wlan side we are usig DHCP for the clients to connect.
IP address is 192.168.101.1/24
DHCP Pool 192.168.101.10 - 192.168.101.250
ether1 is 10.100.1.249/24 and is eventually connected to the internet (through 10.100.1.254).
The problem we have now is that routing doesn’t work so the wlan clients can’t surf.
We have set the routing as follows (using winbox):
Destination 0.0.0.0/0 Gateway 10.100.1.254 Interface ether1
Destination 10.100.1.0/24 Pref Source 10.100.1.249 Interface ether1
Destination 192.168.101.0/24 Pref Source 192.168.101.1 Interface wlan1
I have tried to ping from a wlan client to 10.100.1.254 but i get a time-out.
On 10.100.1.254 I’m using ethereal and I can see the incoming ping request from the wlan client, but it’s like
there is no route back.
Is there an extra routing needed or do I have to do something with the firewall settings, or something else?
Thanks!
do you have a SRC-NAT rule? if you haven’t introduced your network to the ISPs router, you need a SRC (masquerade) rule.
Thank you.
It seems to work now.
