To someone from latvia

Hello all, I’m trying to deploy a routed wireless link concerning 4 RouterOS units and 802.11a (5 GHz) signal. As you can see on the lines below, I have tried everything and no positive solution comes out. If some one here in the Forum has a clue I will appreciate for life.

Regards,

ether1 192.168.1.200
wlan1 10.0.10.100

wlan1 10.0.10.101
ether1 192.168.2.200
wlan2 10.0.10.102

wlan1 10.0.10.103
ether1 192.168.3.200
wlan2 10.0.10.104

wlan1 10.0.10.105
ether1 192.168.4.200

All I want is the ethers comunicate with each other.

thanks a lot for been there.

By the way, do you have any story case like that? I mean an example.

Have you got a routing protocol running?
if not then you will have to either install one or manually connect to each AP and insert the correct routes

Example

First unit you will have to say 192.168.1.200/32

192.168.2.0/24 → 10.0.10.101/32
192.168.3.0/24 → 10.0.10.101/32
192.168.4.0/24 → 10.0.10.101/32

Second unit 192.168.2.200/32

192.168.1.0/24 → 10.0.10.100/32
192.168.3.0/24 → 10.0.10.103/32
192.168.4.0/24 → 10.0.10.103/32

and so on get the picture.
otherwise use RIP or OSPF

Im not from latvia but I hope this helps

You cant run the wlan’s on the same network class, try something like

ether1 192.168.1.200
wlan1 10.0.10.100
|
|
|
wlan1 10.0.10.101
ether1 192.168.2.200
wlan2 10.0.9.102
|
|
|
wlan1 10.0.9.103
ether1 192.168.3.200
wlan2 10.0.8.104
|
|
|
wlan1 10.0.8.105
ether1 192.168.4.200

Then add routes on each router to point all the address classes to the right gateways.
eg. on RB 1.

192.168.0.0/16 → 10.0.10.101
10.0.0.0/16 → 10.0.10.101

RB 2
192.168.1.0/24 → 10.0.10.100
192.168.2.0/24 → 10.0.9.103
192.168.3.0/24 → 10.0.9.103
192.168.4.0/24 → 10.0.9.103
same for 10.0.x.x range.

i hope

we covered this before http://forum.mikrotik.com//viewtopic.php?t=9858

Have you tried our suggestions?
what problems did you have?
are you running and routing protocols?
have you set up static routes?

Please post your network information again showing what subnet masks you have used for every IP address you have shown.

Thanks

Yes its possible, but not the best way of doing it. By bridging you put more stress on the RB, so your links will be slower. But if he wants to bridge he can bridge all interfaces, and run everything on the same subnet. Then there is no routes involved. But I think the link wont be much faster than 2mbps on a rb532 (the figure is a guess, because on a rb 112 its 1mbps). While when routed it will be about 15mbps(that it what one of our link speed it when routed)
