block hotspot users from seeing each other.

Mon Nov 12, 2007 8:58 pm

Hi,

I have setup the below configuration

internet -> cable modem ->Mikrotik ether1 -> hotspot ether2 ->netgear router running as an AP -> wireless clients

The MT is allocating ipaddresses from the hotspot to the clients. The problem I am having is that the clients can see each other as they are on the same network. I understand that if you use the Mikrotik as a wireless hotspot you can switch off the default foward which stops this happening. Can this be done if ether2 is running as a hotspot?

Thanks Mark

1. You can have separate subnet for every client you have. But this is not suitable for clients over 100 or 200
:lol:
2. Using PPPoE maybe, since this is a good solution on wired LAN. I never tried it on Wireless.

Does your AP has isolation mode? If it does, turn it on, it will help user from seeing each other.

I used Dlink AP, Senao, etc. Most Ap has isolation mode to prevent user seeing each other, or hosting internal game server through AP.


Cheers.
