Hello,

I'm trying to connect two mikrotik routers. In MT manual the WDS is discribed:

[WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows packets to pass from one wireless AP (Access Point) to another, just as if the APs were ports on a wired Ethernet switch. APs must use the same standard (802.11a, 802.11b or 802.11g) and work on the same frequencies in order to connect to each other.]

I've tryed to do it by the manual... But no succes. Bouth routers see each other, I made WDS connection, bouth routers connect to each other buth no packets are getting throu.

Configuration of 1st router:

I allso tryed to connect one mikrotik router and one Dlink acces point DWL900AP+. There were the same resoults.... no data didn't came throu.
When I coonected my notebook to acces point I couldn't connect to PPPoE server on router, hotspot also didn't work. If I connect my notebook to router PPPoE and Hotspot work OK!....


What is wrong with my settings???

Thanx for the help!!

Both interfaces must be set to BRIDGE..

Regards

I tried bridging and it worked, but only with Linksys WRT54G,
I still can't get Mikrotik and D-link to work.....

any idea ?
