Its a home network, so it's just one flat /24 network. My bridge has an IP, because otherwise I was not able to connect to it and if I remember correctly it was not getting IPs from BorderRouter DHCP server. It was set up this way long time ago. It was working, so it was good enough. There are no ot...

Of course. I've updated my initial diagram. If more details are needed, I'm happy to add them to the diagram. Config of my both routers is also posted in my original post. https://i.ibb.co/zXqkhVK/Home-Network-Diagram-simplified02.png Here is InternalRouter Quick Set options: https://i.ibb.co/9WQZgV...

I'm getting a feeling that I'm doing things wrong, i.e. my current setup is not right for VLAN's. My InternalRouter is set us a router. It has statically applied IP address on ether1. And BorderRouter is defined a router for InternalRouter. So I effectively have two routers on the network. Also, if ...

@anav I came across some article that explained at least 3 different ways to configure VLANs on MikroTik. I think I know what you mean. There is a way to set up VLANs by creating a bridge for each VLAN and then tagging and untagging interfaces on bridge ports. I think I'll look more into that. It se...

It's no rocket science. Use the vlan settings on those wireless config (I use it for a Guest network). On router handling capsman define virtual VLAN interface connected to bridge. Define DHCP server on that virtual interface. Define firewall rules as needed. Done. I think I've got it working... so...

There is no assignment of vlans within wireless setting! So these settings when creating virtual wlan interface do nothing? https://i.ibb.co/YPDqGHc/virtual-wlan.png The tie in is what you assign at the /interface bridge port and /interface bridge vlan settings!! Remember WLANs are bridge ports. Ye...

As I'm really not that confident that I'd setup VLANs properly, I used the #3 solution from here , the one with EOIP tunnels. Thank you for the link. EoIP sound conceptually simpler option. But If I understand correctly, EoIP is MikroTik proprietary protocol, so it has less value to me. I've alread...

I think I’ve got the hang of the concept. Let me know If my thinking is correct. What I need to do on the basic level is this: Ether5 on BorderRouter and Ether1 on InternalRouter will be tagged ports (say I will user VLAN20 for guest Wi-Fi) creating a trunk. Both ports will be tagged with VLAN ID 20...

Thank you @anav,

looks like a bit of reading and quite a bit more of understanding to do. I did read some of the linked resources already but the understanding isn't there yet.

I need your help setting up guest WiFi in home. Bear in mind, I'm not a network engineer, so go easy on me. My basic network looks like this: https://i.ibb.co/G5bCXb3/Home-Network-Diagram-simplified.png I'm using two MikroTik routers, because one is not enough to provide WiFi coverage. My "Bord...

What fixed it for me was resetting configuration (System -> Reset Configuration and check "No Default Configuration" box). Connect to the router via cable then use Winbox to access router via MAC address. When setting WISP AP (via Quick Set interface), set "Mode" to "Bridge&...

I'm still struggling with this. Anyone got any suggestions what else to try?

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

Originaly 192.168.1.2 was set to ether2-master.

I've set IP address 192.168.1.2 to ether1, then bridge. Tried rebooting the router after each change (just in case), but nothing worked. Still can't connect to the router set as WISP AP.

Thaks 2frogs,

good point. I'll check it out.

Hi, All, I was dealing with apparently the same issue couple of years ago as well (https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=107336), but solution used then, does not work now. Basic set-up is this. 2x hAP routers. Both RouterOS v6.44.1 “Border Router” is border router/firewall directly connected t...

Use winbox to connect via the mac address.

Thank you, this was helpful. I did manage to connect to my bridged router with MAC address.

So, I've found a way to connect to bridged router via "MAC Telnet". Unfortunately, it is only good if you know the specific CLI for RoS (which I do not know, yet). Isn't there a GUI option? Didn't you assign an IP address to it? If not, use Winbox and, as jarda suggested, connect using MA...

Hi, Need more info about your ISP connection but typically ISP modem in bridge mode is connected to ether1 of router. For Router/Firewall: Use Quickset --> Home AP. Fill in the details according to your ISP. Assign an IP. Enable NAT & DHCP. Disable wlan1. Configure firewall to your needs. For S...

Hi All, I've just purchased two hAP ac routers. I have no experience with router OS. My idea was that I will use one router as my router/firewall and the other one as a switch and WiFi access point. The issue is - I have no clue where to start and looking for the quick fix. I will go through RoS doc...
