Hello everyone,
I have

The radios at tower 1 are connected fine to tower 2. I get speeds of above 35Mbps. But the data being pulled at tower 2 when I connect the ptp to the AP's (via a switch) does not exceed 6Mbps.

Getting a lot of customer complains from clients connected to tower 2 AP's.

After studying my case it looks like I need a router at tower 2 instead of a switch.

Please guide me how do I go about this.

Ideally you need a router at each tower and start with OSPF. BGP is really ideal in the long term as OSPF quickly becomes unmanageable for traffic engineering but you can get started with OSPF. because you are PPPoE based, you can use EoIP until you are comfortable enough to use VPLS over OSPF which is the best way.

Take a look at this example:

And then build it virtually with CHR in GNS3 before you try to convert in production. We use GNS3 so much to validate networks for our consulting that we have entire servers dedicated to it so we can spin up dozens of routers if need be.

I tried OSPF but at the main router I won't see the tower 2 router under main router neighbor list.

I'm pretty sure you have a wireless problem not bridge/routing problem.

It was a switch problem.. installed a new mikrotik in bridge mode.. Everything is back to normal.. but with the increasing number of users on tower 2 I need to setup OSPF.

But a mikrotik in bridge mode is like a software switch. Are you sure your switch wasn't a bad one?

I am sure it went bad..
