creating two separate networks on Mikrotik wifi router

Sun Jul 03, 2022 1:01 pm

I am looking at purchasing a MikroTik RouterBOARD RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT WiFi router.

What I would like to do is have two separate networks as follows -

Network 1 - 192.168.1.0/24 - accessible via eth1 and WiFi network. No DHCP or DNS required on this network as it is provided by another device in the network.
Network 2 - 192.168.2.0/24 - accessible via eth2 only - I also want to configure a DHCP server for this network on the Mikrotik Router.

I would like these two networks to be segragated from eachother as well.

Is this possible to acheive?

Property default-forwarding (available for legacy wireless driver) is about isolation of wireless clients, using same SSID on same wifi radio. Original question, set forward by OP, is about two networks using different SSIDs. These are created with two separate wireless interfaces (one is master - using real hardware, other is virtual running on top of real hardware) and mentioned property is there per interface.
By using separate interfaces clients of one interface (SSID) are separated from clients of another interface (SSID) as far as wireless driver goes (and that's true for both legacy and wifiwave2 driver). Further separation then depends on other configuration (bridge / VLANs / firewall) and if done properly, complete further separation is very much doable.
