How create two wifi SSIDs belonging to two different networks on the same wifi access point. ? Need a help

Thu Oct 03, 2024 2:41 pm

Hello everyone,

I need help please to create a new SSID WLAN on Mikrotik AP RBcAPGi-5AcD2nD( arm).

The aim is to create two wifi SSIDs belonging to two different networks on the same wifi access point. I've created a virtual wifi card from the existing wlan and I've selected the wlan as the master interface. The problem is that the wlan interface already belongs to a bridge and it's in slave mode, so my virtual wifi is routed directly to that bridge. I've tried to remove my virtual wifi from the bridge but it's impossible to do so.
Has anyone experienced this problem?

That sounds a lot like my guest WiFi scheme. That should at least get you started.

Looking to see your config, to see what you are missing.

I created virtual wireless from wlan 2
I created a new bridge
I noticed that my vitual interface belongs to the existing bridge. I can't affect my interface virtual to the new bridge

I just did almost exactly what you described, except I already had the second bridge configured with IP addressing and DHCP server etc etc. Call them "bridge1" and "bridge2", and the subnets x.x.1.0 and x.x.2.0.

I also already have virtual WLAN interfaces with a different SSID on both 2.4 and 5GHz wireless.

In Bridge / Ports I brought up each of the two virtual WLAN entries, changed the bridge from "bridge1" to "bridge2" and saved. I then connected my device to the second SSID and confirmed it got a DHCP lease from the second IP range assigned to bridge2.

Of these steps, which doesn't work in your case and what error do you get? Have you checked your second bridge is all fully working, for example by assigning an Ethernet interface?

Hi Anav,
I don't get your message
Translated :wink: it means:
Please follow the instructions here and post your complete configuration:
viewtopic.php?t=203686#p1051720

The generic problem when attempting to troubleshoot someone else's configuration issues is that some of the needed info are missing, the configuration of a router of switch needs to be reviewed holistically :shock: , and the whole configuration is needed as a base.
