Often, we want to use Mikrotik Wireless for point to point solutions with bridged networking mode (no routing). However, RouterOS own designed to work very well in routing mode. We need to do wireless links are some things that we can work to bridge mode.
Bridge mode allows network affiliated with the network at one side only in a transparent manner, without the need to go through routing, so that the existing machines in the network that one can have the IP addresses that are within the same subnet 1 to the other side.
However, if our wireless network is large enough, this bridge mode will make wireless traffic increases, since there will be a lot of broadcast traffic from one network to another network. For a network that is large enough, I recommend using routing mode.
Here is a diagram of the network that we set.
Configuring the Access Point
1. Create a new bridge interface, name bridge1
2. Enter the ethernet interface to the bridge
3. Enter the IP Address on the interface bridge1
4. Next is a wireless interface settings. Click on the Wireless menu (1), choose the tab interface (2) and then double click on the name of the wireless interface to use (3). Choose AP-bridge mode (4), determine the SSID (5), the 2.4GHz band-B / G (6), and the frequency to be used (7). Do not forget to activate the default authenticated (8) and the default forward (9). Then aktifkankanlah wireless interface (10) and click OK (11).
5. Next is the WDS configuration on the wireless interface is used. Open wireless configuration like the steps above, select the WDS tab (1). Determine the dynamic WDS Mode (2) and select the bridge interface for this WDS (3). Then press the OK button.
6. The next step is to add a virtual interface WDS. Add new WDS interface as in the picture, then choose the wireless interface that we use for this WDS. Then press OK.
7. If WDS was added, then the new WDS interface will look like in the image below.
