I want to send bandwidth through a bridge, which consists of two
5.8 GHz Senao access points in two different locations. AP1 is connected
by ethernet with Mikrotik in the same location , while AP2 is in
another location, the ping replies between the AP's are perfect and the
computers connected by ethernet to AP2 are smoothly having a DHCP IP from
mikrotik OS 2.9.41 , the problem is that those computers could not even
get the login page of MT hence do not have internet service , which I suppose there is something missing in MT, anybody have ideas about this issue?
AP1, AP2 are Senao 5.8 GHz access points, they are set up to be a bridge with ad-hoc setting for each of them , the ping replies between them is OK . now I connected AP1 through a switch with MT and AP2 with a computer through a switch also. this computer gets IP easily from Mikrotik and pinging perfectly to it, but the internet service is not reaching the computer and even the login page do not show up...this is my issue here...
It sounds like either the PC's default route is wrong or the Internet router doesn't have a route back to the PC.
If you can Ping MT, but can't get Login page, we have to assume you've setup MT with a Hotspot, make sure the Hotspot interface is set to the Ethernet.
Post again stating the IP address and netmask of each component, then someone might have a chance of working out what's wrong

Re: 5.8 GHz Bridge with Mikrotik problem
You cant bridge over cient and ap. Only accross WDS bridge (no you dont lose bandwidth just because its WDS as long as you only have 2 units connected).I want to send bandwidth through a bridge, which consists of two
5.8 GHz Senao access points in two different locations. AP1 is connected
by ethernet with Mikrotik in the same location , while AP2 is in
another location, the ping replies between the AP's are perfect and the

Dallas
well dallas I know I can achieve it with a WDS setting , unfortunately there is no WDS in Senao access points (2.4 or 5.8 GHz).
yes cmacneill I have a hotspot with the MT and its set perfectly. and as dallas said it would work with WDS, I ve already tested it with different trademark. the question is there any other way besides WDS?
my network is
ap1
Senao
ip 192.168.0.9
mask 22
ad-hoc
ap2
Senao
192.168.0.10
mask 22
ad-hoc

I don't see how WDS is an issue here, the MT router is connected to the AP via Ethernet.
The APs are providing the Bridge and MT is providing the Hotspot, the clients are the other side of the Senao Bridge from MT.
How is the Internet Router connected to the MT? Via a second Ethernet port? If you're only using one Ethernet port, then there's nothing to stop the clients resetting their default route and bypassing the MT Hotspot.
To me this looks like a simple routing issue as infozone says he can ping everything.
Please post the private IP address of the Internet router and the IP address of MT and the range of addresses being given out by DHCP.
Even if everything is on the same subnet you need to be giving the default route out via DHCP to the clients and setting a default route on MT of the private address of the Internet Router. The client's default route would normally be that of the MT interface they are connecting to. If you are doing NAT on MT then you don't need anything in the Internet Router, but if you're not using NAT you need to tell the Internet router how to route packets back to the clients.

MT is working as a hotspot
I am using NAT on MT
my internet router is a multi-component system, not a one piece
yes the internet router is connected via a second ethernet port with MT
the first port of MT is for private interface
the private ip of MT is 192.168.100.1 mask 22
range of DHCP 100.1 to 103.254
and I tested APs with another trademark which has a WDS mode and it worked
