MikroTik

valypetre

you simply set-up a bridge and add both your eth card and wireless card to it.

valypetre

You need to be more clear.
I understand you have a router connected to the internet, a Mikrotik routerboard and a D-link access point?

valypetre

Leave all TX & RX data rates selected because the OS will try to connect at the maximum data rate possible. You probably have low signal or interferences. Work on that, try changing the channel or increase power.
Good luck!

valypetre

try putting them in the access-list also

valypetre

On tower one, change the wlan that connects to tower two to ap bridge or bridge and on tower two use station wds.
It would also help if you could post your IP routing configuration on those towers.

valypetre

Is it possible to use more than one card in same RB on same channel, joined into one virtual AP? No it will not work. Use an Omni. This should be clarified - it won't work with MikroTik, but it will certainly work with other products in the market using synchronization. We have sites with 3 sectors...

valypetre

I don't know if I understand it completely but I see a very simple solution... just unplug the satellite wire and install another wireless card that connects as a bridge or client to tower two. replace the satellite as the gateway with the adsl and you're done, you don't need to change anything in y...

valypetre

does any of your clients have any ZIO access points in your network? they've given me a lot of trouble... I don't know what happens to them but after a while they start to take any IP they find in the network and the only solution is to give them to a recycling company

valypetre

it will surely work if you have visibility. how many AP-s? 35?

valypetre

Your problem could be the pannel. It's a sectorial antenna. You need an unidirectional antenna, a grid, something.

valypetre

"but the problem that i can not have lock" WHAT?? Be more specific!

valypetre

so... 1 W it's too much in my opinion for that distance. 24 db grids should be more than enough for that link. BUT! if your 2.4 ghz spectrum is crowded, stop bothering, immediately switch to 5 ghz.

valypetre

lose the pannels. try directional antennas, California Amplifier like.

valypetre

do the clients disconnect when ping timeout starts??

valypetre

It could be your laptop's wireless card. Check it's settings.

valypetre

what's the noise level at the omni's end?

valypetre

post more info about the config of the wlans please

valypetre

You must configure the routerboards this way: On the mountain rb you must set the wlan ip addresses like this: -wlan hq 172.16.28.100/23 -wlan of1 172.16.16.100/22 -wlan of2 172.16.35.100/24 The HQ rb must have the wlan ip 172.16.28.99/23 and ip route add 172.16.16.0/22 via 172.16.28.100 ip route ad...

valypetre

switch to pannels! you will lose only 2-3 dbm but you'll have defined sectors. try avoiding roaming. just an opinion

valypetre

on that distance, forget the omni. buy a RB433 and install 3 sectors directional antennas (pannels)

valypetre

alvarion has this feature. and it's very precise. I believe it tests the latency with different ack settings, chooses the best one and evaluates the distance. just a guess.

valypetre

switch to 5 ghz

valypetre

and what's the problem?

valypetre

Water in the pigtails, cards down because of lightning or antennas changed their position because of the wind. After looking at the antennas, change the pigtails. If nothing changes... it's the cards.

valypetre

be sure

valypetre

Connect to your mikrotik running AP using WinBox, click on wireless, double click on wlan1, go to WDS and at WDS mode select whatever works (dynamic i presume). Good luck!

valypetre

OFFSET!!! don't ask why!

valypetre

Look carefully to the settings, there must be the same at both ends (both APs). The tutorial works 100%. In your case you've probably forgot to enable dynamic wds or nstream at one end. Check again! Good luck!

valypetre

Ok, the clients` upload is very very bad

valypetre

anyone??

valypetre

What could be the problem in a transparent p2p wds link that at a bandwidth test, TCP, both ways shows 5 Mbps Tx / 212 kbps Rx? There's no noise. The signal strenght varies from -76 to -82.

valypetre

Use channels 1,5,9,13, they don't interfere.

valypetre

disable encryption

valypetre

Explain the steps you took and what seems to be the problem.

valypetre

1.take some time and read the manual: http://www.mikrotik.com/testdocs/ros/2. ... reless.php
2.use winbox for starters, it makes your effort a lot easier.
3. stay in touch

and ask questions that can be answered with 1-2-3 lines, not "I bought a RB333, teach me what to do with it"

valypetre

"Is there a way that this type of point to point setup will work without configuring a bridge on the RB's?"
Ap bridge -> Station or
Bridge -> Station WDS.
If you don't create a bridge the link will NOT be transparent so you will need to configure your routes.

valypetre

--assuming your gateway behind A is 10.1.1.1/24-- on all three of them you have to create a bridge A: bridge 1 must contain: eth1, ip 10.1.1.2/24 wlan1, ip 10.1.13.2/24, mode station WDS ip route 0.0.0.0/0 via 10.1.1.1 B: bridge 2: eth1, ip 10.1.15.2/24 wlan1, ip 10.1.1.3/24, mode bridge (to A) wlan...

come on people, please help, I really need this link

valypetre

As much I understand, that doesn't make sense. Now, can anyone give me a line that can limit the connection number of a client on a certain port?

valypetre

It does NOT work

valypetre

I'm trying to limit the number of connections of a client (say 10.100.10.16) on a port (say 411) at 12 connections. I've enabled connection tracking and I've tryed lots of rules and all they give me is a headache. HELP!!! give me the exact line please

valypetre

great!!! you have the same manufacturer

can't tell

valypetre

try other channels. try switching Band to 5ghz-turbo (if it's supported) or 5GHz-10MHz or 5GHz-5MHz, but I still think your problem is that you have more power than you need.

valypetre

try lowering your tx power. that 60 db signal to noise ratio is weird. try with 10 db on tx power if you say it's a 1 km link and see what happens.

just tell us the mac address(es) and we'll tell which one is which

valypetre

are your interfaces bridged ?
how far is your panels from each other ?
and did you check if your channel is clear ?

Interfaces bridged, about 1 meter (3 feet i guess) between panels, channels clear.

Does anyone have experience with AP running MikrotikOS? I need a wireless card that can function well with 20-35 clients in AP bridge mode. I`m tired of trying Alfa Networks, tp-link, trendnet and other pci brands based on atheros. Does anyone have a palpable solution?

thanks

Is it true that Broadcom chipset based wireless cards cannot function under MikrotikOS in AP mode?

you have to bridge ether1 and wlan1, not ether1 and ether2

I had the same problem when i tried to bridge them in winbox. Try entering the set of commands thru telnet console and watch in winbox if it gets disabled.

valypetre

See if the interface that gets disabled isn`t part of any other bridge. I wrote an article about something like this at http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/How_to_cr ... less_cards
Good luck !

If you bridge the AP and ethernet, as long as the wireless card is in AP MODE, its fine. Another thing to do would be to turn off connection tracking. Then I would connect these to a more powerful MT and route at the bottom on the tower.. ! Turn off connection tracking... what does this button do ?...
