interface wireless set wlan1 ssid=MikroTik frequency=5805 mode=bridge disabled=no
interface wireless set wlan1 wds-mode=dynamic wds-default-bridge=wds-bridge
ip address add address=10.192.92.35/24 interface=wds-bridge
ip firewall connection tracking set enabled=no

at the “WDS-Client”

interface bridge add name=wds-bridge
interface bridge port add interface=ether1 bridge=wds-bridge
interface bridge add name=wds-bridge
interface bridge port add interface=ether1 bridge=wds-bridge
interface bridge port add interface=wlan1 bridge=wds-bridge

Are the radios connected to omni antennas indoors and close to each other?

Are you sure they are both set to the 5GHz band?

What happens when you scan for radios from the station? Do you find the AP? Do you find other radios?

I fix the Problem

first i had problems with the Antenna directions :laughing:

after that i try to scan from the client side as you say

but if you try to connect to the scanned AP the software

!!! switches from station wds to station mode and save it !!!

after switching back to station wds all works fine

Thanks Michael
