Hi,
I’ll ask another way:
how to push through tagged VLAN traffic through wireless?
There is another way for VLANs than on both sides of bridge set up a virtual AP (one for each VLAN separately) with WDS and the appropriate WDS put in the bridge with the appropriate VLAN?
Thanks

Yes, you can use VPLS over wireless to create a tunnelled link that delivers better performance than EoIP/WDS
Have a read of this guide http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Transparently_Bridge_two_Networks_using_MPLS to help you get started.
I’d also recommend using the largest size frame you can on the wireless interfaces and then set the mpls interface frame size to match (see bottom of the guide for more info on that).
Hope this helps!
guys, why all that hassle?
just apply vlan-interfaces to your wireless-interfaces like you would do it with your plain ethernet-interfaces.
just make sure to use station-bridge on the client side.
that’s all.
no virtual-ap, no wds, no eoip, no vpls!
I use it on a regular basis and it makes no difference to me, if an interface is wired (ether) or wireless (wlan).
The configuretion is exactly the same.
Because in comparison to station-bridge, station-wds is safe to use for L2 bridging and gives more fine-grained control on the access point by means of separate WDS interface, RSTP for loop detection and avoidance, etc.
Also, the best option depends entirely on OP’s configuration and if he plans on just having one or multiple AP’s connected; I simply provided the high-performance alternative to the default method for point to point or point to multi-point link configurations; namely station-wds.

you can even add VLAN-interfaces to a WDS-interface.
or add the VLAN-interfaces to the bridge where the WDS-Interface resides on.
however, vpls and eoip should not be used for just L2-bridging within one wireless link.
