WDS help needed with RB433 and 2xLinksys(dd-wrt)

RouterOS General

Hi guys

I have been trying all day to get this setup working and have tried google and searched the wiki’s.

Heres my problem:

I want to connect 2 x linksys wrt54gl’s running dd-wrt firmware to the same WLAN interface on a RB433 (ROS V3.10) with WDS

Linksys A <------WDS----->RB433<-------WDS------>Linksys B

I managed to get linksys A to connect to the RB433 in static mode, but as soon as I connect linksys B, Linksys A gets disconnected.

I cannot use 2x wireless interfaces because then I need to buy 2x atennas which i am trying to avoid

So my question is how do I connect 2 linksys wrt54gl’s to the same WLAN interface on a RB433??

Thanks

EDIT: I have tried using static mesh but with no success, maybee i just did it incorrectly. So can some1 plz confirm with me as to wether or not it is possible and with which mode ( static/dynamic etc) and I will try further with that mode. But atm I dnt think it is possible

OK I seemed to have fixed it

I reset all configuration on the RB433 and then tried again, and then it worked

I created 2 separate static WDS interfaces with the single WLAN interface as the master interface.

I am trying to do something similar. I have a RB433 and a Linksys WRT54G with DD-WRT installed. How would I set up a WDS link between the two where the MikroTik is the “client” and the Linksys is the “host”? If possible, it would be really helpful to know what configuration to use on DD-WRT as well.

Thanks!
