hello,

i wanna use miktoik simply as an access point to distribute internet connection to 20-25 users.

i hav configure it and now i m soon going to hang it on top of my tower with omni.

Question:-

I hav create (wlan1) interface and do the neccessary setting.

I hav create (ether1) interface and compltetd the all required setings.

Then i hav created a (bridge1) interface and then added wlan1 & ether1 to the bridge1 interface.

i dint give any IP address to wlan1 and for ether1

i hav just given IP address to bridge1.

Is this method is correct or should i assign IP address to each interface seperately

can assigning IP address to bridge1 only degarde the performance of my AP.

thxxx.

you can use 1 IP in the bridge. If you put diferent IPs and th 2 interfaces in the bridge, I think it could have some problems.

Put ether1 and wlan1 in the bridge and put the ip to the bridge.

If interfaces are bridged then IP address should be set on bridge interface.
If there is an IP address assigned to interface that is configured as bridge port, that ip will be automatically assigned to bridge interface.

things is… do u have public static ip for all those 20-25 user first?
if u have u can bridge them and do dhcp on the bridge.. i think thats what u ask for distribution.

if u dont have more than 25 static ip..unfortunitly u have to do nat
its in ip/firewall/nat use the masquared to fake all those 25 ips.
u can also use dhcp on that way as well
