Hello, here its my problem. I have a RB333 with SR9 set as AP Bridge with and 8db omni antenna. The SR9 Main interface is set in WDS Mode: Dynamic and WDS Default Bridge: Bridge1

Bridge1 has all the interfaces bridges to him, SR9 main, SR9 Virtual AP and the 3 ethernet ports with only 1 in use

The Virtual AP interface has the SR9 as Master Interface and is set in WDS Mode: disable and WDS Default Bridge: none

here is the deal, with the client CPE(rb411 lvl3) I can connect as Station WDS to the main interface without a Problem, I set the WDS config the same as the AP. But when I try to connect to the Virtual AP interface it keeps "searching for network". I can see the Virtual AP in the wireless Scan option and I selected and press Connect but it doesnt do it. The rb411 has also the wlan1 and ether1 bridged.

Also try to set the Main SR9 as WDS mode: none but the same keeps happening, no connection to the AP.

In the RB333 I also have 1 XR2 also with 1 Virtual AP and both, main and virtual interface works without a problem.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks everyone for your time.

Why do you have a WDS and a virtual WDS in the same bridge?

Not trying to avoid the question, but I don't understand why the situation came to pass. What are you trying to do?

no, the Virtual IP is not WDS, the WDS Mode is set in disable.

are you saying that if the main interface has WDS enable the virtual would have it as well?

eitherway I also try erasing the Virtual and set the main as AP bridge with WDS disable and the same keeps happening, cant connect if is not WDS. Of course the CPE was set as station and not station wds like it was before.

thank you.

Ok, misread it last night.

Dunno. I've run XR9 with the main AP in AP Bridge and the virtual in WDS and works fine that way. You may want to try that. I've never tried it with the card set as WDS and the virtual as a standard AP.

I already tried both virtual and main interface as standard AP and its the same, the only way I can get a connection is by setting the ap as wds, dunno why either, maybe its and issue with the SR9, Im asking if anyone had the same problem or if it is a mistake in my config.

Thank you.

UPDATE

I could connect setting the AP as WDS mode Bridge: disable and WDS Default bridge: none in both AP and station. The station is now in station only, not wds and here is the new issue, even both SR9 are bridged(AP and CPE) into the main bridge1 wich connect them to internet, the CPE has no access to the LAN, as I cant ping hosts from the CPE to the LAN and from the LAN for the CPE.

here is the config to be more clear

AP: bridge1: sr9, ether1, xr2, etc...
SR9: AP bridge mode, WDS mode: none, WDS Default Bridge: disable
CPE: bridge1: sr9, ether1
SR9: station (not wds), WDS mode: none, WDS Default Bridge: disable

everything seems to be bridge to me, but the only way to make the bridge between the SR9 and the LAN to works seems by WDS. Its like the WDS wich was previosly activated interferes with the bridge. Any idea anyone?

In the CPE side I reset the config and make it new to void any mistake made. In the AP side, I erase and add the SR9 from the Ports config to be sure it wasnt some kind of bug.

Do I need to disable something else or am I forgetting something in my config?

Thanks to anyone for the help.
