Dear All
l have tried to make a wds link between mikrotik 3.0 x86 atheros card and dlink ap 2100ap.
there is no wpa or wep activated.
it shows wds running in the mikrotik but can’t pass traffic.
Any ideals how it can be done ?
is it possible?
Thanks
yes is it possible. you mast have in 2100AP firmware BlueBox, and set P2P mode
Here are a few moments:
- set WDS static on mikrotik.
- set mikrorik in stantion mode, and connect to 2100 BB, when connect to 2100 BB set mikrotik in AP Bridge mode.
Not work..
Mikrotik shows wds running but can’t pass traffic.
That necessary to do else?
P.S. Traffic passed only station pseudobridge clone mode on Mikrotik (RB433, level 4)
But I need connect more then 1 device. It is impossible in this mode..
anybody know, is this possible even so, or does not stand to spend time? ![]()
I tested WDS working between one of the 2.9.XX builds and a DWL-2100AP running BB firmware but when I went to change my system over to this setup 6 months later found that it no longer works with the current v3.XX builds
Are official Mikrotik reports anything about this?
This is a bug, or made purposely?
P.S. I have v3.17 build now.
WDS in RouterOS was never guaranteed to work with other manufacturer devices, you should use it between RouterOS. There is no specific standard being followed, each manufacturer uses their own approach. New wireless driver in ROS3 apparently made it incompatible with the DLINK, compatibility to which was a pure accident in the first place
WDS work very good mikrotik 3.17 and 2100 BlueBox

Can you show your configs for dwl-2100 and Mikrotik?
yea… plz post the setup
