Hello,

Being a newbie to MT I am in need of some advise. I have downloaded the Manual for ROUTEROS and read it though and still stuck, I have googled what I need and searched the WIKI for assistance (i can hardly find anything on that search box). However with no luck or any further understanding. I guess my questions might be very basic and even silly but can someone help me. Seems like everything covered is WAY ADVANCED and no simple setup instructions.

This is what information in can give now, if there is anything which i have missed please let me know.

We have currently:

1x RB433 on Office - Backhaul 1
1x RB433 on Mountain 1 - 1x Radio AP Bridge - 1x Radio Backhaul 1 - 1x Radio Backhaul 2
1x RB600 on Mountain 2 - 1x Radio Backhaul connection 2 1x Radio AP-Bridge

I want to create a

1x P2P link from our office to Mountain 1
1x P2P Link from Mountain 1 to Mountain 2
1x AP Bridge on Mountain 2

Then all to be able to talk with our internet connection at 192.168.0.1
Any help or any links that explain how to do it would be as helpful as I am really stuck.

Is it Bridge`s Bonding.... i feel my head is going to explode with loads of terms!!!

Thanks in advance.

This was the config i was thinking of when i was reading the WDS setup for joining 2 networks? Will it work for my plan?
