Vodafone Station / RBwAPG-60ad kit / cAP ac

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi,

I have set up the following constellation:

ISP ---------------- Bridge Master  -  -  -  - Bridge Slave ---------------- Switch --------------- Access Point
|                          |                          |                         |                          |
Vodafone Station       wAPG-60ad                  wAPG-60ad                Zyxel GS1200-5HP             cAP ac
(192.168.0.1)        (192.168.88.3)            (192.168.88.2)                                        (192.168.88.1)

The switch is mainly used as PoE power supply for bridge slave and AP.
At the beginning, I set up a short test “in the kitchen” - the same constellation but with the old ISP (DSL / FritzBox) - no configuration on the (preconfigured) MikroTic devices at all - That worked! I had internet on the cAP.

Then I installed the wAPGs at the place they are intended for (outside, 20m distance, sight contact) and attached the new ISP. Result: No Internet at the AP and no Traffic over the bridge. On slave side it looks not bad - I can reach the AP and bridge slave via IP address with WINBOX (PC plugged into the switch). But I see no traffic on the bridge. On Master side it’s confusing: I cant’ reach the bridge master with WINBOX via IP (PC plugged into Vodafone Station) only via MAC address. When I logged in via MAC address the first time, the RouterOS looked like a simple AP - no bridge. After a reboot that changed to the look of the slave, and I thought, that was the problem - but I have still no Internet. No traffic shown on the 60GHz route …

What’s wrong? Would be nice, if somebody has an idea …

LG,

Ok, it looks better now … obviously, the master of the wireless bridge lost it’s configuration while plugging on and off - and came up with a different SSID and password on the 60GHz network. After fixing that, I got a connection.

Some questions to the experts:
1.) The so called “wireless wire” kit, the RBwAPG-60ad kit comes preconfigured. If I press the reset button for 5 seconds on that kit, what configuration will be present after that? The the “wireless wire” configuration?
2.) How can I prevent a change of the configuration? Do I have to shutdown the device befor unplugging?
