hai fren,
if you want supply them from central hotspot you must set CPE as transparant network. this metode will supply dhcp ip's address to pc client, or put dhcp server on CPE to supply client with natting them, and central hotspot to CPE must be transparant network too.

Thank you for you answer.
the cpe acts as station mode. actually the PC recieves the IP from the master hotspot but once you open the browser and type the gateway IP to get authenticate the browser do not answer that call because always say the page cannot be desplayed.

This is currently something I need to do as well and have tested other wireless clients and it did not work. If anyone has a solution or the magic button to push then please let me know.
I'm guessing that WDS is going to be the only answer. From what I understand, station mode in MT does not allow the interfaces to be bridged so other then WDS only double natting with dhcp on client device as well is the only other alternative.
I was hoping to have a box a hotspot customer could "borrow" if their computer just had an ethernet port or had a wireless card with an issue. That is what I am trying to achieve. External box to act as wireless client hooked to MT hotspot and wired to the computer.
Thanks,
Scott

hello carullos.
my scenario is done already. just did some setup moves and reach the top. Mikrotik`s team helped me of course. WDS is the answer.
station mode is not compatible with address 4.

many ways to make hotspot until end user

just important way transparant network will make easy to it work from central hotspot and wds-bridge interface wireless for. or this simple way like this, cause i used until fourth ap as ap2ap[wds-bridge], and i had roaming network far far way for. and this assumsy with v2.9.xx
- ap-bridge >>>>> station-wds
- ap-bridge >>>>> ap-bridge
- ap-bridge >>>>> station[wlan] and dhcp-server[ether] and NAT, ip's user from local dhcp
i hape with this figure will help you to find your problem.
