I have finally got hotspot working on my local router with user manager installed. (still learning that!)

I have plans to install one remotely on my network.
I took a 450 gave it a static address (10.5 range of my network) and configured the hotspot on 192.168.3.1 ( local router uses 192.168.2.1 for hotspot)

I set hotspot for ether 2. It gives me an address in the 192 range with gateway and all but no internet.

If I bridge ether 2 to bridge 1, I get net.
I checked dns, all seems ok.
Can't get net or hotspot page to appear off ether 2

thanks

Can you be more specific about each router? The remote router is a RB450, correct? What model is your main (core) router? Which interfaces are connected? What ips assigned to each?

Did you route the 192.168.3.0/24 net to the remote router from the core router? No srcnats or masquerade rules in the RB450, correct?

still having problems with this

dsl - 450G (dhcp) 10.5.50.1/24 - switch - ap's (back haul) - clients (Ubnt)
- ap's
I have hotspot setup on main router as 192.168.2.1/24 on ether 4 works fine

I want to setup a 450 remotely on the network to do hotspot. I plug it in to the switch above for testing (afer 450G main router)

I give the 450 a static address as have all my ap's (10.5.50.28)
I get net of the new 450 on ether 2
I try to setup hotspot on 3 or 4 with address 192.168.3.1/24. Does not give me hotspot login page.

thanks

You have 2 RB450s. One is your core router (connects to internet) and one remote router. Correct?
Can you post "/ip address" and "/ip route" from both routers?

main router is 10.5.50.1/24 hotspot on it is 192.168.2.1
main router gives dhcp on 10.5.50. network
hotspot is giving out 192.168.2.1 addresses
all is fine there

all ap's on the network are 10.5.50.10 and up (bridged) so remote rb 450 was given 10.5.50.28/24

I can reach it no problem and get net when I plug into it. No routes set up.
I tried to setup hotspot on it on ether 3 or 4 (not used) giving 192.168.3.1/24 (wrong?)
Can't get login page. I suppose a route is required?
I just want to setup another hotspot somewhere on the network
thanks

Not a problem! Playing with your router is a good thing!
I set up my network before I set up the hotspot. If you disable the hotspot and reboot the router, can you get an ip address and surf the internet from the remote router? 192.168.3.1

If you have nothing in the remote router "/ip firewall nat" (good thing), then you need to route the 192.168.3.0/24 net to the remote router. I would use this on the core router.
/ip route
add gateway=10.5.50.28 dst-address=192.168.3.0/24

On the remote router
/ip route
add gateway=10.5.50.1

thanks for your help Tim

I tried setting up that route and it only gives me hotspot page. No net.
strangely, if I try google, does not go anywhere. If I try an address in the network, 10.5
I get login page, no net. Show me logged in in hotspot (active) with a 192.168 .3.254 add.

I had a member here log in to the router, figured its basic routing and he tried a few things but it did not work. He set it up at home and we are to try it tonight or Monday.

Can't figure out why I would get out on net (on eth 2) when I bridge ether 1 to 2
but then not get it on hotspot setup.

thanks

Do you have "/ip dns" set correctly? Insure primary and secondary set and "allow-remote-requests=yes" in both the core router and the remote router.

How does it do with ip addresses? Try this. It should be Google.

If it doesn't work, then it might help if you post "/ip route" from the core router. Insure no srcnat or masquerade in the remote router. Also, when you set up the hotspot, one of the questions was "masquerade network". Default is 'yes', I change to 'no' for all except the core router hotspot.

its working
thanks a lot: if followed route instructions and entered dns manually in remote router

then in hotspot setup I removed masquerade and dns showed up on its own

can't thank you enough as well as Richard in Maryland
