Manage Wireless Bridge in front of Router

Hello,

Considering following, my Router gets a WAN address by DHCP from my Cable modem on Eth1. But instead of a Cat5 cable, my Cablemodem and Router are connected over a wireless link consisting of two SXTs in Bridgemodus. See:

In this setup, i cant see the SXTs from my local network, and are thus unmanageble.
The only way i can access the SXTs is connecting a switch between my home SXT and Router, and set a computer with a local address.

I would rather make something like a VLan to give the SXTs a normal IP, so i can manage the SXT from my local network.

P.

I don't see a problem. Your cable router is 192.168.1.1 set each device
in its network (the two APs and the MikroTik router) an IP in 192.168.1.0/24.
The router has 192.168.3.0/24 on its LAN, so your PCs get addresses in that range from the MikroTik router.
Each PC should be able to access the APs on the addresses they got, via the MikroTik as a router.

Run management vlan over the bridge and manage the devices by this vlan.

Why bridge? It should be easy to route in that network...

I've gone for the VLAN option. Not completely working the way i want, but way further then before :)
