Hi to all
I want to buy a microtik but I don't know what model is good for me.
I need a microtik that connects to a wifi network (2.4 Ghz) and creates another 2.4Ghz wifi network (hotspot). I need to do natting and routing, dchpd between the two networks...
Can anyone help me ?
Kind Regards
Ivan from Italy
Re: what microtik I need ?
any mikrotik wifi AP can do that. you need to be more specific in your requirements. what else you need? how much traffic, how many ports?
Re: what microtik I need ?
Concur Ivan, we need to know your intentions on USAGE.
How many people connecting at one time
a. wired
b. wireless
How many groups of people or devices will you be serving
hotspot users wired
hotspot users wireless
home wifi
guest wifi
home iot devices
What is your ISP connection 1gig up and down?
How many ISPs?
Do you have any other networking devices in the mix - servers, NAS boxes, managed or unmanaged switches,
How many access points do you have (straight APs or older wifi routers acting as APs)

At the same time? If You need it to be client AND AP at the same time, you will need a unit with two 2,4GHz radios.I need a microtik that connects to a wifi network (2.4 Ghz) and creates another 2.4Ghz wifi network (hotspot). I need to do natting and routing, dchpd between the two networks...
If you want one unit that could do both - but not at the same time - basically any Mikrotik with 2,4GHz wireless and license LVL4 or above will do.
But Normis is right: too little information. Tell us more about your needs.
Re: what microtik I need ?
MikroTik devices support repeater mode, Paternot. One interface is ok too.
Re: what microtik I need ?
Repeating is the worst case last ditch scraping the bottom of the barrel, no other hope, desperate beyond belief, almost insane solution. ;-P Avoid at all costs!
Using the same radio to cover local area needs and tx and receive to another wireless entity just gives me shudders...............
I think I need a drink just talking about it.
