I have a RouterBoard 111/112 with 2.9.32
I would like to setup a very simple configuration. I just want to configure the wireless router so people can connect to it, get ip address and browse the web.
Wireless Router is plugged in to Bellsouth DSL Modem which provides DHCP. I thought to make it easy is to assign an address to the Wireless Router on that network that is not in DHCP scope - 192.182.1.253
[Bellsouth ISP Router with DHCP 192.168.1.254/24] <–[RouterBoard 192.168.1.253/24]
I followed the quick start guide and did the following:
/ip address add address=192.168.1.253/24 interface=ether1
/ip route add gateway=192.168.1.254
After doing this, I can ping from the wireless router to the Internet, which tells me that routing is working.
Then, I attempted to configure the wireless portion and did the following:
/interface wireless set wlan1 ssid=“test” frequency=2400 band=2.4ghz-b/g mode=ap-bridge disabled=no
/interface wireless set wlan2 ssid=“test” frequency=2400 band=2.4ghz-b/g mode=ap-bridge disabled=no
Then it was my understanding that in order for the wireless clients connected to the router to route to the Internet, I have to create a [Wireless Bridge], so I followed the manual and did the following:
/interface bridge add name=wirebridge disabled=no *this command was successful
/interface bridge port set ether1,wlan1 bridge=wirebridge *this command was not successfull
- I receive the following error message “Invalid Item Number”
I also tried this:
/interface bridge port set ether1,wlan1,wlan2 bridge=wirebridge *this command was not successfull
- I receive the following error message “Invalid Item Number”
Also, I see the access point on my laptop, but when I try to connect it does not work at all… (this maybe because of my laptop or vista)
Please Be Kind to Help!!! Do not know where to turn to.
Thank you,
Jake
