[afnog] MikroTik Router Wireless

[John Gitau]

Emmanuel,
I think you need to tell us a little bit more about the wireless side of
the connection. For instance, the fact that your pc is not 'seeing' the
wireless connection at all might mean that its not even enabled, or
configured for the right frequency. After you 'see' the card, basic
routing, NAT or Masquerading should sort you out. 
 
Another thing you need to let us know is whether you want the mikrotik
hotspot setup or to route the wireless clients directly, like you're
doing for clients on the LAN interface, I'd suggest you go with the
hotspot option, it gives you more control, Plus it has a wizard to help
you setup, I think its accessible under the /ip hotspot setup I cant
remember very well, please look through the menu for that.
 
The config. below should activate the two wireless cards (2.4GHz) and
assign IP's to them, you'll probably have to NAT the private range of
IP's and  route the public IP's. There's also a tool called winbox
accessible through a browser pointing to any of the IP's on the mikrotik
eg http://10.1.254.27. That should make your work much easier.
'part-15.org' <mailto:'MikroTik at part-15.org'> maintain a mailing list
for mikrotik dudu's. I suggest you go through their archives, and
probably join the list as well.

		I am using a Mikrotik router with a RouterOS version
2.9beta19 on it.

		My network diagram is as follows:

192.168.1.0/24(wlan2)

			I am able to get to the internet from any pc
behind ethernet 3.
			The problem is that I can't get any of the
wireless network connections to work. My PC simply doesn't see any
wireless connection. 
			Could someone please help me? Thank you
