SSH from laptop connected to wireless

RouterOS Wireless Networking

Hello All.

I have tried searching and keep coming up blank with this issue. If I’m missing finding it somewhere please send me a link and I’ll be more than happy to read up on it.

I am trying to SSH to a raspberry pi device on my network. I have everything setup correctly and I am able to connect from a laptop running ubuntu through my RB4011 running Capsman managing wireless on 2 different hap Ac2s. The wireless network is all running find (the pi is actually connected to wireless). I will say there are multiple Vlans but both the pi and laptop are on the same VLAN and have IPs in the same range.

I’d like to move away from my desk and still be able to connect to the pi. My problem is as soon as I disconnect the wired connection on the laptop and switch to wireless the SSH connection doesn’t work anymore. I get a “no route to host” error message. From what I can tell it’s because SSH is disabled by default over WLAN from a security standpoint. I can understand this but my question is, Can it be enabled and enabled so that only a certain mac or IP can use SSH when connected to wireless?

It seems like it should be possible but like I said, I have not been able to find any documentation on the subject.

Thanks so much!
Jeff

Sounds to me you have some config problem moving from wired to wireless.

Make a drawing of your network (simple paper is fine).
Clearly indicate the subnets and what device is connected where and how.

Then export your config of your router, I assume that would be RB4011 (terminal: /export file=anynameyouwish).
Move file to your PC and edit contents: obfuscate serial number, public WAN IP, … so we know the info is there.
Then post contents between code quotes (for easier readability).
