Only way I can see this working is to bridge the interfaces and put the DHCP server on the bridge...

We'll say ether1 and ether2 are the two jacks you want to have the same IP range.

You create a new bridge, bridge1, and add ether1 and ether2 to these ports. You then create a DHCP server listening on bridge1.

um... yes?

What is the purpose of a bridge other than to bridge more than one interface? :shock: :?

Is this pool for DHCP?
Steps needed to make it work:

Create a bridge interface:
/interface bridge add name=bridge1

Add both interfaces to that bridge:
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether1
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 interface=wlan1

Add the default gateway to the bridge:
/ip address add address='192.168.0.1/24' interface=bridge1

and then you can setup the DHCP server on the bridge inteface instead of ether1 or wlan1


If it is for PPPoE Server there is another setup that should work. Just create a PPPoE server on each interface and set them to use the same pool.

make sure your wlan is not station mode, you could not bridge station mode only AP

Add the default gateway to the bridge:
/ip address add address='192.168.0.1/24' interface=bridge1
That is the IP address, not the default gateway
make sure your wlan is not station mode, you could not bridge station mode only AP
Not quite correct - you can bridge the following modes:
AP bridge
bridge
station WDS
station-pseudo-bridge (v3 only)
