Hey all, how's it going? I've tried everything I can think of and I'm now stuck so I decided to ask for help. This is what I'm trying to do in detail...
I'm trying to setup a MikroTik hotspot - just a general basic hotspot. My problem comes in with the topology of the network itself. I'm running it off of an existing Access Point [Linksys WRT54GSv7.2] and the wireless card in the system itself is a Cisco Aironet 450. I have two physical Ethernet cards in the machine however one is being used as the configuration port [For web/winbox access] however if needed I can get rid of that.
I want to know how exactly I should set it up.
The above topology is what I tried to use originally meaning: From Internet to Switch from switch to router and router to internet [ether2] on the machine. I was able to associate the wireless card with the AP but after that I'm able to do nothing. I wasn't sure if that was right so I've also tried:
Internet to Router
Router to Switch
Switch to Ether2
Internet to Switch
Switch to Router
Switch to Box
Internet to Box
Box[Used the 'config' port] router internet port
And none of them have worked. I'm not sure if I'm not getting valid IP addresses [I'm using cable internet so that may be a problem; I can try it elsewhere tomorrow], if my topology is wrong, if my AP just isn't compatible, the wireless card in my RouterOS just doesn't like me, or what.
Please please help me!!
