hi to all
i have RB433 and XR2 mode ap bridge

the problem is :
i connect 5 ~ 7 Clients through 1 access point and i'm using hotspot

in hotspot i see only mac address of the access point for all clients



so i can't control them ( any one can log in with any pass and user )

how can i fix this ?

BTW : i'm using tplink501 in universal repeater mode

You're routing instead of bridging?

no ...
and i can't connect in bridge mode

Maybe your users are spoofing their MAC addresses?

Maybe your users are spoofing their MAC addresses?

no cos i tested it with my own pc and laptop

and both of them got access point mac

look this is my settings :









clients access point :




BTW : when i try to connect in bridge mode i didn't get recieved

look at this pic



i only can connect in this mode : Client ( without wds ) , universal repeater

and i can't connect in this mode : Client with wds enabled , bridge

so is the prob in settings or in what ?

thanks in advance

Looks like you need to contact TP Link support - this isn't a Mikrotik problem.

but why i can't connect in others modes ?
i tested TP link and airlive Both of them can't connect in bridge and client with wds ?

I bet that mac is your AP interface. If you use an AP between your clients and the hotspot, all users show as the mac of the AP. I use hotspots in the APs, and use my main router as a router only. That eliminates the ip-binding to access the APs, and lets you use mac filtering.

And WDS is unreliable between brands. The most glaring incompatibility was/is D-Link and Linksys. They will not connect with WDS, no matter what I tried.

i can solve the problem it's very easy
the first thing make wds static then defult bradge 1
then wds ignor ssid
and make the tp_link bridge with ap mode
then go to bridge in xr2 and add one and add wds
