Hi all,
First excuse my English.
Im installing a wireless network in a Hotel in Spain. Its a large resort and we installed 215 Wifi Mikrotik Rb133 with a Hotspot Mikrotik RB564.
The aps ar conected to 24 ports switches that are conected to a central switch with the hotspot.
All the AP's are configurated with the same ssid, same frecuencie, WDS Dynamic, wds bridge with eth1 and wlan1, stp active.
The problem is the switches starts to blink continuously, seems a loop problem but all the aps are with stp active to prevent this, and its imposible to link with aps or browsing.

Could you help me?

Best regards.

Hi

Dear

What the ip range of wlan1,eth1,wds of all the routers.

Thanks

have you tried RSTP that will resolve loops faster than STP

Hi, the ip range of the aps are 192.168.200.xxx/24

have you tried RSTP that will resolve loops faster than STP

The rstp option is not available. The version of the routeros is 2.9.44. Need upgrade?

Hi again,

At this moment we are enabling rstp package in all (215) aps. I hope to have luck. Is a hard work connect to each ap with winbox and make the changes...
I dont know how to automatize this work.

When finished I will tell you the results.

Hi again,

No Luck, the maximun number of aps working at the same time before the loops starts are 25.
Help Help Help, I need 215 aps wprking at the same time.... and I have only a few hours.

Why are the 215 AP's wired AND wds'd?

Never mind, I should allways re-read the post before submitting.

STP...

I suggest to use all ether ports routed as backhaul, and leave the wds for the mesh.

Hi

I had the same problem here, i resolved him by making Static WDS.

Try to see each AP to were he usually connects, put that information in access list in the wireless menu, then change the wds mode to static.

I hope it'll help.

I feel You don't need any fancy routing protocols to do this at all!

there will NEVER be much BW going across this entire network (i assume)

i have a 129 MT install at a hotel in Florida, USA we can power w/ 7mbit DSL dedicated line, great speeds, great qos, sub 4ms pings to any end user clients, that don't happen to have Firewalls running

at another 38 MT install, similar results.


just set up some cheap 1900 or 2600 cisco switches, bridge all ports needed, enable some kind of broadcast control.

do a few DHCP servers and private networks at the head, on a 532... or use HS, we dont use HS at these 2 installs.

QOS we do on a 2nd 532 R5 box. we never really have more than 50 sim. users.

most ppl don't understand how little hotel installs use in terms of bandwidth. even with tons of users. Apartment complexes are different.
