I think wlan1 need either to connect to and AP or if it is and AP then you will need a client to connect to it before it will show “R” for running…

agreed.

I’ve just tried it on one of my Routerboards that has a wireless card not connected to anything and it also does not show R

Ok guys I´ll try to establish a PPPoE over it, and after that, I´ll back with the results.

On this moment is mounted as ap-bridge

But I´m failed in order to mount a PPPoE on it, Why? The example shown on Manual is not useful to me because I ´ve not a Router between Public Eth and Ethernet, I only have 1 Public IP, and wan that my future ctm´s receive an internal IP (prived)

I know that Wlan1 must not have IP address. I did that. But when I enable the PPPoE Server, and a client ask IP, the server do not response with it.

The signal is good, and spectrally talking, the Wlan1 card is showing me tha MAC address.

Any ideas?

I can share with you the config if it usefull.

Rgs,

Fernando

One suggestion would be to get the pppoe working via one of the wired interfaces first just so as to remove an area of complication whilst you learn.
