How to make rb433ah Strictly an access point. No more.

Sat Feb 07, 2009 6:15 pm

Hi

I currently use the RB433ah for a hotspot system. well just now i downloaded a firewall/hotspot system and i need the rb433ah to be nothing more than a wireless ap / pass traffic. i'll have the real server do everything else like hotspot/dhcp/virus scanning and so on

so how to accomplish this by peforming a reset? what steps are needed?

thanks

no configuration - usually means what is says
if you supply no arguments to reset command, then you will have 192.168.88.1/24 ip address on ether1 interface, and at the first login you will be prompted if want to save these settings. that is all there is.

all the rest of configuration, you will have to set up yourself.

in your case - easiest way would be - open up winbox, browse through firewall and disalble all the rules there. disalbe every other thing there is, but wireless interface settings.

then add bridge and ports to that bridge. now, your AP is just passing data along.

why you need, that is completely different question. can you answer that? where is the problem why you have to downgrade powerful device to some dumb device?
