So here’s the deal. I work for a mining outfit and the current setup is working great, but like management always does they want WIFI in the new portals area. I purchased a RB433GL with 2 wireless cards along with a couple of antennas to provide the link. The problem is that whenever I try and setup either a dynamic, or even a static mesh, the system seems to loose connectivity.
Here’s my current setup:
/interface wireless
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] band=2ghz-onlyg comment="To Pit 10 - Outside" \
disabled=no frequency=2437 l2mtu=1600 mode=ap-bridge radio-name="To Pit 10" \
ssid=Outside wireless-protocol=802.11
set [ find default-name=wlan2 ] band=2ghz-onlyg comment=Office disabled=no \
l2mtu=1600 mode=ap-bridge radio-name="In Office" wireless-protocol=802.11
/interface wireless manual-tx-power-table
set wlan1 comment="To Pit 10 - Outside"
set wlan2 comment=Office
/interface wireless nstreme
set wlan1 comment="To Pit 10 - Outside"
set wlan2 comment=Office
/interface wireless security-profiles
set [ find default=yes ] supplicant-identity=MikroTik
/interface bridge
add mtu=1500 name=bridge1
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether2
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether3
add bridge=bridge1 interface=wlan2
add bridge=bridge1 interface=wlan1
/ip address
add address=MyNetConnctionIP interface=ether1 network=MyNetConnectionIP
add address=192.168.11.1/24 interface=wlan2 network=192.168.11.0
add address=192.168.11.2/24 interface=wlan1 network=192.168.11.0
One card “Office” provides WIFI to the office building with small antennas, while the other card “Outside” picked up requests from employees in the field.
I was hoping to use “Outside” to point to the new RB433GL and it’s wireless cards to provide the link into the new portal area. One card would connect to “Outside”, Card A, then bridge to Card B to broadcast the connection to the portals. I thought I had it once but it was very unstable, and I never got the link to broadcast to Card B.
I hope I have explained my situation well enough. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
