wAP ac as bridge mode

Thu Aug 23, 2018 6:46 am

I have CCR1009-7G-1C-1S+ and wAP ac (for wireless).
Most of settings are by default. CCR1009 gateway is 192.168.0.1 and wAP ac gateway is 192.168.88.1.

Question 1:
how can I get ip address(same gateway "192.168.0.1") from CCR1009 when I connect to wireless?
wAP ac setting is "Home AP Dual" mode.

Question 2:
I have printer which support wifi connection. I set ip address for printer using wireless (192.168.88.xx).
My PC connected from CCR1009 and ip address is 192.168.0.xx (different gateway).
When I install printer driver, it couldn't detect printer (I think because of different gateway).

How can I connect wireless printer in this situation?

Thanks so much

So what's the question?
Just configure wAP as a bridge and everything in you local network will get addresses from CCR.

I need to use 2GHz and 5GHz both wifi.
Quickset have CPE, PTP Bridge AP, PTP Bridge CPE, WISP AP, Home AP Dual, and CAP.
Only Home AP Dual has 2GHz and 5GHz.
My wAP ac get ip 192.168.0.200 from CCR1009.
I unchecked DHCP server and unchecked NAT setting and I can't connect to internet.
My notebook still get ip address from 192.168.88.xx range, not from CCR1009 (192.168.0.xx).

What am I missing?
I attached my quickset configuration

Re: wAP ac as bridge mode  [SOLVED]

The best (but maybe not the easiest) way is to remove all config and write it from scratch.

If you want to stick to QuickSet...
Well, you can't do it all with QuickSet only, but the closest you can get is WISP AP mode.

The only thing you will need to add manually - are settings for the second radio.

Little correction: it's better to set to Channel Width to "20/40/80Mhz XXXX", as you are using "auto" channel.

After that just make another export and I'll help you to add 2.4Ghz radio.

Thanks for your help.
I changed your settings by instruction.
Here is my configuration. I don't know why wireless setting already exist 2ghz band.
Anyway, my phone and laptop can't connect to 5ghz wireless after change settings.
I can only connect 2ghz band right now.
What am I wrong?

Re: wAP ac as bridge mode

Try changing "Channel width" for 5Ghz back to "20/40/80mhz-Ceee".
Can be, that your devices don't like the XXXX setting.

Apart from that I see many parts from previous config, that are still present, but not needed anymore.
They are not actually active, but It's better to delete or modify them.
  1. Interfaces --> Interface Lists: move ether1 to list LAN
  2. IP --> DHCP Server: delete existing DHCP server entry and network entry
  3. IP --> Pool: delete entry
  4. Bridge --> Filters: remove the only entry
  5. IP --> DNS: uncheck "Allow remote requests" and remove the only entry in "Static"
  6. IP --> Firewall --> Filter: delete all entries.
  7. IP --> Firewall --> NAT: delete entry.
  8. IP --> uPNP: uncheck "Enable".

Re: wAP ac as bridge mode

Sat Aug 25, 2018 2:48 pm

Almost everything is done right.
The only things.
1) Go to "Bridge", tab "Bridge" - here you can delete the bridge named "bridge" as you don't use it anymore, leave only bridge1.
2) Then "Bridge", tab "Port" - delete LAN, leave wlan1, wlan2 and ether1.
3) And the last, go to "Interfaces", tab "Interface List" - delete all 3 entries and create one for list LAN and interface bridge1.

Great help here...just one thing (and it might be my preference...) that I want to share:

- Never use auto channel, just do a proper WiFi scan and select the best channels
- On the 2G radio choose either channel 1, 6 or 11. Never use 20/40mhz-Ce! Choose 20mhz.

xvo You are a star!
The script will work perfectfly for me.
I have a Mikrotik router connected to the internet with a static IP and is also a DHCP server.
I want to set up 16 WAP ac around a large area.
I want each WAP to have a static IP (easier to manage/maintain)
I want the WAP clients to obtain IP from the DHCP server on the router. Or is it better the WAP to issue an IP?
Thank you in anticipation

I'll start by saying, I'm a noob and bought my first MikroTik device to get my feet wet. WAP AC (RouterBOARD wAP G-5HacT2HnD)
I learned quickly that it didn't function as I had hoped out of the box and correctly having my Netgear Cable modem / router perform the DHCP, wasn't just clicking a couple buttons. I wan't to thank you all for the great information in this forum. I plan on buying more MikroTik devices and playing more. I'm looking for advice and tips on getting the best performance out of the WAP AC as a simple Dual Band Bridge AP. Currently, I am doing just that and I believe I have it quite generic where I can plug it into any DHCP network. I'm exporting the config for review and looking for pointers. I think I will purchase another and possibly a couple different devices for mesh projects.
