I am having difficulty trying to se up a hAPac2 as a wireless bridge. I'm certain I've done this in the past, but I can't find any saved .rsc files that I usually export from every device config I do, so I may only be remembering the various hotel bridge configs I have used that have routing functions, typically on a hAPac or mAP lite. I've read quite a few posts, and then had to create a new login as it seems my old login must have been deactivated as I haven't been logged in quite a while, but I'm not new to the forum.
I want to connect to an existing wifi network, and have devices connected to the ether ports get their dhcp address from the main network. I have a hAPac at home as my main wifi AP (with a HEX for a router), and I am able to make the hAPac2 work as I want when connecting to the hAPac, using the config as follows:
/interface wireless security-profiles
set [ find default=yes ] supplicant-identity=MikroTik
add authentication-types=wpa2-psk eap-methods="" mode=dynamic-keys name=\
profile1 supplicant-identity="" wpa2-pre-shared-key=*KEY*
/interface wireless
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] band=2ghz-b/g/n disabled=no frequency=auto \
mode=station-bridge security-profile=profile1 ssid=*SSID* \
wireless-protocol=802.11
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether1
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether2
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether3
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether4
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether5
add bridge=bridge1 interface=wlan1
/ip dhcp-client
add disabled=no interface=bridge1
With this the bridge gets it's IP address, and I can see that my laptop connected via an ether port to the hAPac2 gets an IP address from the HEX. So it works fine connecting to another Mikrotik it seems. When I try to connect to a different network (Ruckus AP, RB4011 router), I get an IP on the bridge, but cannot get an ether connected device to get an IP. I've tried ap-bridge, ap-pseudobridge, and a host of other stabs in the dark.
Is there something about the device or an obvious setting that I am missing that is preventing a connection? I'm hoping to use the hAPac2 as a bridge for a couple of components where running an ethernet cable is not feasible.
Thanks for any help.
