Hi I am homeschooling my son (15) - He wants to be a wireless consultant ...

I have purchased 3 5ghz rb411 RB's with R52 and UBQT 5GHz NanoStation cards for him to set and learn on and for coms between the 2 farm houses - (+/_ 18km with good LOS with repeater in middle )

Just give me basic info so I can get him focused in the right direction (And me maybe some more - I have to check his work )

Not too worried about distance and LOS calcs as we have played with those

I spoke to my local WISP but he just does as he was shown out of a book by a consultant that put up the net.

He did give me the following IP's he uses for his network

Cenario - WISP - The last router (cpe) authenticates

DSL Router Netgear DG834 - IP 192.168.60.1
Office router - Uplink to Mountain - IP 172.30.0.1 DNS
Mountain RB - IP 172.30.0.5 / 192.168.203.21 (Gave me both ip's??)
CPE1 Mikrotik RB411 - IP 192.168.2.1 DHCP
CPE2 UBQT NanoStation - IP 192.168.2.1 DHCP

I assume the 192.168.2.1 ip's are only one side of the CPE routers? Are they? The WISP tech is clueless

Questions:

How do we set up each router to talk to each other (BASIC PLEASE)
can we we do accounting on the RB
How does the CPE's connect ?? PPPOE?? to 1st router??
can we we limit bandwidth to each CPE
can we cap data for each cpe (SOFT AND HARD CAP)

Is there anything else I could teach him on this subject

a whole bunch of training material:

You can't do any kind of schooling without reading material and video tutorials

Thanks for the Docs and vids - lots of homework for dad

These things are not taught/learned in a day. Slow down and go one step at a time Many people on this forum spent 30 years to get where they are now

Awe some: Got PPPoE working with DHCP and DNS - Am I right to say that the 2 towers (repeaters) would be connected point - to point?

Found out how to with towers !! Thanks
