Routing Problem, im new...

Hi,

im having a routing issue and hoping someone may be able to help me out. i have 2 mikrotik routeros boxes running 2.9.26

Box 1 has,

ether1 192.168.10.1 (LAN)
ether2 192.168.11.1 (Wireless WAN)
ether3 Internet Connection PPPoE
wlan1 192.168.12.1 (WLAN)

Box 2 has,

ether1 192.168.0.9 (LAN)
ether2 192.168.11.2 (Wireless WAN)

these boxes are interconnected by their Wireless WAN interfaces. each box has static routes to the other ends lan and wlan etc subnets, with the gateway of the other ends box.

box 2 can ping everything, including box 1's LAN and WLAN subnets.

box 1 can ping 192.168.11.2 but nothing further (eg not its LAN interface or anything behind it)

Its like box 2 is not routing between cards. both firewalls have no entrys.

Im new to mikrotik and routing and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Matthew.

configure box 1 to search your other netowr on the correct destination

from box 2 try to ping anything deeper inside the box1 network - i think you wont be able to

box 1 has the static routes
192.168.0.0/24 192.168.11.2

from box 2 i can ping everything behind box 1, on all its interfaces i have set static routes for.

To me it seems that you may have better luck putting your 2 Mikrotik boxes into a wireless bridge. Would be much easier for you unless you need to have it some other way.

If you think that this will help you, try this:

Put box1's Wlan card into AP Bridge mode.

Put box2's Wlan card into station mode.

Configure the frequencies, etc to match up and get a good link the be VERY careful when you do the following.

Bridge the necessary ethernet interface with the WLAN interface and you're done.

If you get locked out somehow use the MAC login tool with Winbox to get back in.

That won't work out of the box. You cannot bridge a wireless station interface in RouterOS.
You have to use WDS for that. There are several examples on how to achieve a transparent bridge in RouterOS in the docs/wiki/forum.

There are no wireless cards in the boxes, they are wireless accesspoints connected via ethernet, you could say its just like having them networked via a cat5 cable.

Ah - that was not really clear from your post.
What kind of wireless gear is between the boxes? Is this a routed or bridged wireless connection?

its bridged gear, it doesnt appear as a route when doing a traceroute.

Thanks.

By default, without any firewall rules does RouterOS route between cards? if not, what do i need to add?

RouterOS does not route on per interface basis, but on per destination (prefix) basis. Your question is therefore not appropriate and has no answer.
