I hI'm starting a WISP using RB532 with two SR5 for the AP and 20 RB112 with 65mW 5.8GHz Atheros transmitter.
And I'm not sure how I should configure my network...
At the AP, I'm using 3 ADSL lines and one full (expensive) DSL line.
My first choice was to configure my RBs as one big hub using WDS. I connected my 4 modems to a switch, and the switch to RB532. So each client configured his PC to point to the gateway he desired. But IPs are assigned statically, and twice already I have missconfigured two PCs with the same address... and get random errors. (Besides, clients CAN change their addresses, and that’s a problem)
I decided later to route “by hand” every client, configuring RB532 as AP and RB112s as stations, with three different networks (DSL to eth1 on RB532; wlan to wlan; and eth1 to Client PC) But it’s really demanding to keep creating each route by hand.
If I were to use PPPoE or Hotspot, or something else...
How should I configure my network?
Can you point me to something a bit more friendly than Router OS manual?
In your opinion, which is the best alternative to use?
How should I configure each subnet...
Sorry, those are many questions... ANY help is better than nothing, so, if you can, please drop me your opinion!
