[SOLVED] Networking Problems - WDS & Internet

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

Hello.. I need some help with my current setup.

I currently have the following:

Router Office with 2 interfaces:
ether1 192.168.1.1 (Office Server on this lan)
and wlan1 - 192.168.0.1 (Office Clients connect here)

Router Remote with 2 interfaces:
ether1 - 192.168.10.10 - ethernet cable running to ADSL Router 192.168.10.200
and wlan1 192.168.0.2 (Office clients & remote clients connect here)

Remote wlan1 and Office wlan1 are linked through static WDS. wds1 and wlan1 are bridged (Bridge1) on both Office and Remote routers.

A DHCP Server was added to Remote Bridge1 with a IP Pool of 192.168.0.10 - 192.168.0.20

Currently a client can connect to any of the routers wirelessly and will get an IP address from the DHCP pool. Once connected the client can ping any of the 4 ip addresses, the ADSL Router, or any other client which has connected to the system.

I have added a PPPoE Client onto Remote Bridge1 do dial up to the internet through the ADSL Router, once the link is established, router Remote can ping any internet address, however router Office and any client connected to the system cannot access the internet.

Any ideas on how I can get it working??

I have tried setting up a PPPoE server on remote bridge1 becuase I would like to control internet access to the clients by username & password. After doing this they are able to dial up to the router but are still not able to connect to the internet.

Any ideas as to how I can get this working??

thanks

You have a number of problems with your setup.

You don’t state what netmasks you’re using, this makes it hard to tell which interfaces are routing and which are bridging. I’ll assume you’re using a 24 bit netmask in each case, i.e. 255.255.255.0, if not then everything from here on is probably wrong.

With the netmask assumption above, the wireless side of both routers form a bridge and then the Office and ADSL subnets are routed.

This means:-

    1. The Office router needs a default route with gateway 192.168.0.2.

  1. Your server and anything else on the 192.168.1.x subnet needs a default route with a gateway of 192.168.1.1

  2. Remote router needs a default route with gateway 192.168.10.200 and a static route for 192.168.1.0 via 192.168.0.1

  3. DHCP needs to give a default route with gateway 192.168.0.2 to its clients.

  4. The ADSL router needs static routes for 192.168.0.0 via gateway 192.168.10.10 and 192.168.1.0 via gateway 192.168.10.10

Thanks for your help MacNeill :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

All I needed was to add the static route to my adsl router. Everything works fine now. :stuck_out_tongue:
