Two Subnets Across Wireless

RouterOS Wireless Networking

I’m a newbie in mikrotik. hence, sorry for the noob question. How do I bridge two different subnet across a pair of wireless access points? I’m interested to bridge 10.55.0.x (data) and 10.55.1.x (voice) from one access point to another (acting as wds). I read somewhere there’s this concept called virtual access point…

maybe this helps http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Transparently_Bridge_two_Networks

i have bridged 10.55.0.0/24 network described in the documentation. i need to configure another bridge for 10.55.1.0/24 network using the same pair of ap and wds. Below is the network that i’m trying to setup

(10.55.0.0/24,10.55.1.0/24)----[MT1 AP]===WLAN===[MT2 WDS]—(10.55.0.0/24,10.55.1.0/24)

If you use WDS on the wireless segment, you can run VLANs over it in order to keep the traffic separate.

So VLAN is the preferred method to bridge to subnet wirelessly. How about using Virtual AP to create two WLANs. The network will look like the diagram below where WLAN bridge 10.55.0.0/24 and WLAN2 bridge 10.55.1.0/24

(10.55.0.0/24,10.55.1.0/24)----[MT1 AP]===WLAN1/WLAN2===[MT2 WDS]—(10.55.0.0/24,10.55.1.0/24)

Can you give a real configuration in more detail it would be very helpfull. How to connect Virtual AP I tried to make 2 Virtual AP in one side and to WDS stations in other side but I could not create Virtual Station WDS, just Virtual APs.

Thanks!!!
