Hi everyone! Please help, I have set a qrt device as a wisp ap -bridge mode. However I can't setup a repeater ( tp-link ) settings are saved successful, I see the device connected even have access on it but I can't connect thru it. Please help and be patient on me as I am a newbie on mikrotik devices.
jarda, long story short: I can't repeat the signal with anything. From 2015 it worked like a charm until last os came ( 6.41). Not working neither wth downgrade to version 6.37 like it used to work. Guaranteed link between them is 60 db 58, and 65. I can access repeaters, fully controllable and working.
So you did nothing to repeaters. The ap works correctly, repeaters are connected to it, but your clients cannot connect to repeaters while to ap they can? Is that right? Or they can but are without Internet access? If so, check ttl of the incoming packets. Can the clients reach the rest of network?
No, they can't connect at all. The only chance is to put ip adress manually and so internet is not working and even so you can't see the rest of the network
Being connected and having an ip address are two independent things.
I am probably not smart enough to guess what the problem is. Is your dhcp server correctly set to the bridge? Is the bridge configured right?
I don't know, perhaps romanian consultants are not that good ( just a joke ) . I hoped that an official MT representative would help. I am suspicious that MT blocked some protocols with other producers like ubiquity does... since last ros came
If you mean me, I am the same user like you with no relationship to mikrotik. This is user experience forum and you cannot expect any kind of official support here.
I don't understand what blocked protocols are you talking about.
I didn't want to be disrespectful in any sort of way. Not to MT nor to users, but since the wifi signal can`t be repeated, this might be the only problem left so... i know you are not an MT representative. I even wrote them but no answer so far..
Actually there is no such problem in general. If the repeater correctly implements client function according to wifi standards, it just connects like any other wifi client. What it does afterwards is just its task. No ap worldwide can block anything further.
It would be foolish if it was true. Majority of all clients connected to mikrotik accesspoints worldwide are nonmikrotik devices. Then how mikrotik would sell the accesspoints if they were not accepting other brands of clients to connect?
Try this. Enable wireless debug logging in the ap and try to connect by repeater. Then check what is in the log. Do the same on the repeater's side.
Post your exported config here. We can check whether there is anything abnormal.
