router1 -> AP -> MT client -> router2

Fri Nov 18, 2005 8:07 pm

Is this possible with Mikrotik ?

Topology:
router1 --ethernet--> Wireless AP --wifi_link--> MT client --ethernet--> router2


Wireless AP - some "hardware" AP like Proxim AP2000

MT client -
Mikrotik router with wireless and ether interfaces are in bridge modes

router 1 and 2 have IPs in one subnet
(10.0.0.1/24 and 10.0.0.2/24 for example)


Please, help me with microtik config fot this example (if this posible).....

Not without running WDS on the mt client in which case you would need a AP that supports wds. You can not bridge the traffic when running in station mode. Its a limitation of the 802.11 mac protocol. Other products get around this by using mac/nat which mikrotik doesn't support because it not RFC compliant.

Another option would be to run eoip over a pptp tunnel between router1(assuming it is a mikrotik) and your mt wireless client.
