Hi,
I’m trying to do this simple configuration, but I’m having some difficulty:
DSL router -cable-> AP1 WDS1 -wireless-> AP2 WDS2
AP1
ether1–>Bridge1
wlan1–>Bridge1
WDS1–>Bridge1
/ip address
bridge1 10.0.0.10/24
/ip route
gateway 10.0.0.1 (DSL router)
AP2
wlan1–>Bridge1
WDS2–>Bridge1
/ip address
bridge1 10.0.0.11/24
/ip route
gateway 10.0.0.1 (DSL router)
I would like to assign an IP address to ether1 so that I can connect a PC to WDS2
but if I try to assign:
/ip address
bridge1 10.0.0.11/24
ether1 192.168.0.1/24
and after
/ip firewall nat
0 chain=srcnat action=masquerade out-interface=wlan1
I can’t get out on the internet by ether1.
Some ideas?

HI ;
this case is so simple , so you need to simplify it as follow :
ADSL router —> Main RB -----> Second RB ------> to pc through the LAN .
the ADSL ip is : 10.0.0.1
the first RB will work as AP bridge , as follow :
ether1 going to ADSL router with ip like 10.0.0.2 or any other ip assigned to you by the ISP .
Wlan1 : is AP bridge mode with WDS mode dynamic and WDS root bridge is bridge1
ether2 in Bridge1 , not include Wlan1 in the bridge1 because it dynamically will put WDS1 in the bridge .
bridge1 ip like : 192.168.0.1/24 , and you could make Dhcp-server on Bridge1 and DNS server .
make route with the GW IP 10.0.0.1
make IP Firewall NAT rule , with action= Masqurade
the second RB will work as station WDS , as follow :
Wlan1 : station WDS mode , and the WDS mode will be in disable mode .
ether1 & Wlan1 in bridge1
the ip you will assign to the bridge1 at the second RB will be only for managing the RB .
connect a pc to the ether1 of second RB with IP like 192.168.0.2/24 and GW 192.168.0.1
not forget to put DNS servers in the pc and you will be connected to the internet .
with best regards
