Hi,
I am trying to use a simple RB-751u-2Hud for a little hotel, that has a few wired rooms, and a wireless antenna. I am setting up a hotspot on it. I would like to bridge the 2.4 GHz AP on the Mikrotik with ether2. I make the hotspot on ether2, and then I make a bridge, and put the 2.4 AP, and ether2, and I break the hotspot. It turns red, and has a "I" in the side column, for Invalid. I would like to only have 1 hotspot, and not two. How do I combine these ports, and not break the hotspot.

Thanks,

i think your idea will not work because usermanager runs on rounting mode no bridging have to configure 2 hotspot

I tried to do the same thing, but I found that I had to assign the hotspot to the bridge.

After doing this, clients on ether2 AND wlan were connecting to the hotspot.

Hi shanefletch,

How did you connect the hotspot to the bridge? When you go to bridge/ports, there isn't hotspot in the pull down list. Or did you do it in another place?

Thanks.

Create the bridge first, add the ports (ether2 and wlan) and then create a hotspot on the 'bridge' interface. Ive had a few instances where the bridge is not shown, but nothing a quick reboot doest fix and then try again.
