Thanks in advance for your reply(ies).

The objective is to replace traditional CPEs with MT CPEs.

Given a RB133C running 3.0rc9 in station pseudobridge mode registered with a MT AP (running 2.9.46), is it necessary/desirable/unnecessary/undesirable to run DHCP Relay on eth1?

I ask because I'm having some luck (without using DHCP relay) with DHCP requests issued by a Windows XP laptop connected to RB133C's eth1, but no luck at all when the laptop is changed to a properly configured Linksys WRT54G (the real device at city hall) (read: the DHCP server (ISC) log shows repeated discover/offers).

Does anyone have this configuration working? If so, what was the secret sauce?

Again, thanks in advance for your reply(ies).

Hi,

Given the DHCP server is on the Mikrotik AP's wireless interface, I don't think its necessary to use DHCP relay on eth1 if wlan1 (in station-pseudo-bridge) and eth1 is in a bridge, meaning the windows machine will get the IP from the MT AP.

Thanks for your reply. We use a central DHCP server, which is a few hops from the AP, which does have DHCP relay configured.

Does anyone have a WRT54G downstream of a MT RouterOS 3.0 CPE?
