mynetworktrain... - In this video, I will show you how you can set up the MikroTik router to become a Wireless repeater #MikroTik #Wireless_repeater #MyNetworkTraining
I have been messing about with this for hours and now after the following this I got it working in 10 minutes. Many Thanks. I also added the ethernet ports to the bridge.
Very nice. Maybe show us how to set up the repeater Mikrotik so it hands out the DHCP address. That way, you can have a private network behind a firewall (NAT & DHCP server) and just one ip address handed out by the upstream router/hotspot. I suspect it's setting one of the interfaces to router instead of station bridge, but nothing is that simple with Mikrotik router OS. :)
I follow the steps but when I click start on 'setup repeater' it just says 'scanning' constantly. I've double checked SSID and password and even copy and pasted ssid from the scan part of the wlan.
This is fantastic, much more performant than mesh! For best performance it would seem important to match the repeater wlan settings to the main AP settings. Out of the box my repeater sets the 5GHz wlan at 20MHz but I have set my main AP to 20/40/80MHz which would limit the repeater to 20MHz.
Hello 🙂Thanks for making the video. I have followed the steps and the MikroTik router does not broadcast internet. I am using a Calix Gigacenter as the primary router. Any suggestions? Maybe some setting on the primary? Your assistance will be much appreciated
Hello, thank you for your helpful guidance. I have a question: With this method, if we move to different rooms in the house or office, does the device automatically switch between Wi-Fi signals, or do we have to manually switch whenever the signal becomes weak?
What is the hardware that you're using here, sir? I know it is a one year old video and that MikroTik products probably changed already but I'm interested in the reference used in this video.
Does this setup work only with Mikrotik router (both the main and the repeater) or can the main be something else and just mikrotik as a repeater. My main router is Fritzbox and it's seems it just doest work like it should based on your video. Maybe i am doing something wrong?
This configuration is mostly a moot point. On newer devices, there is no wireless driver anymore and you have to use wifiwave2, which still does not seem to support wireless repeater, and asking Mikrotik, it's even not actively on the roadmap.
Hello. I can’t find the wireless option on the left of winbox 7.14.2. I only have wifi and all the tabs are different at the top. Do I need to use an older winbox version? Many thanks
Hi Maher, Many thanks for this super easy Tutorial - that feature i completely missed. But another question: i would like to include the lan ports of a distant repeater as well to be bridged and connecting via WLAN to the main access point. Is that possible with the same option as well? I could not figure it out until now without having an ip configuration. Thanks and regards from Germany!
thanks Maher , actually i follow your steps and configure my mikrotik hap as repeater . but i have a problem when i try to connect to the repeater signal always says coul not" connect to the network" . "error geting ip " any help please . ?
I think the same thing happens to me. I have traffic from the main router to the mikrotik but not from "wlan1" to the "virtual wlan3" and when adding a DHCP to "bridge1" it only shows "scanning..."
is there any way to WAKE ON LAN mikrotik devices? means i shutdown the mikrotik through winbox and after sometime i used my phone to WAKE ON LAN to mikrotik device to power on? is that possible?
