I have about 30 users who will connect to the internet using the ethernet side of a routerboard.
At the moment i have bridged the ether port and the wireless port, and i am seeing the main ap but i can not get any pppoe connections to go through.
Is there anyspecial setting i need to set? Using license 4 I dont think i need a greater license.

You must use WDS or EoIP to allow PPPoE clients on ethernet interface to reach pppoe-server.
Personaly i will preffer WDS setup.

Hmm I didnt think it was going to be a complicated issue, thought by bridging the ethernet and wlan on the Routerboard it will allow pppoe Requrests to go to the AP and get an answer from the AP direct,
the way the example is set for wds, i have to set an IP address on the Wlan but for PPPOE security it is written not to, and if it is bridge how can i get the rest of the customers who have CPE's at there end to link up?
I would have used the CPE's I Use to do this but they are not acting as a proper bridge so i can not get more than 1 user to work all can sign but they will not be able to use the internet, hence i am trying a more expensive route to achive proper bridge mode.
Thanks

Actualy you can skip step 4 from WDS bridging How-to ( no need to set ip addresses ).Hmm I didnt think it was going to be a complicated issue, thought by bridging the ethernet and wlan on the Routerboard it will allow pppoe Requrests to go to the AP and get an answer from the AP direct,

Customers with CPE's will act as before WDS setup ....and if it is bridge how can i get the rest of the customers who have CPE's at there end to link up?
BTW, i use succefully as CPE Ovislink AirLive WL-1120 AP in WDS bridge mode against MT AP with WDS setup. This setup provide me with propper bridging for pppoe cleints. Ovislink AirLive WL-1120 AP are cheap realtek chipset based devices, but are feature rich, and never have need to be rebooted.
Hi Again
Thanx i have tried it but when it comes to the AP i got confused because on the AP it is another Routerboard with the Wireless Cards and one Ethernet port, if i Bridge the Wlan and the Ether what happenes to the last wireless card, it still uses the same etherport to communicate to the net.
I tried station WDS on the Client side did not work i tried Bridge then put Bridge on the AP that got a WDS-Link but i could not send pppoe connection but note that i did not do this
[admin@AP]> interface bridge port set wlan1,ether1 bridge=wds-bridge
The reason i did not do it, thinking that if i do it that will stop me accessing the AP and it is a working AP on a MAST so :) i dont fancy getting it down to sort it out.
Thank you
