MikroTik CPE Configuration
Preloaded with MikroTik 2.2.9
Author : Ted Green
Below is a white paper on setting up a MikroTik as a CPE with a routed real world routed IP , NAT and masquerading. This will allow you to setup a wireless client on an wireless access point. This article is a work in progress, so we will be adding more from time to time, as we learn more ourselves.
First download your tools needed.
winbox.exe
putty.exe
After beta testing the 313C router board, we found that the units runs better routed instead of bridged.
Why ?
This allows remote access , upgrades and remote management.
We assume you've downloaded winbox.exe and have connected
the router to a hub and your PC/laptop, or your connected
directly with a cross over cable. Your link light on the hub
or switch will indicate your linked.
Once connected shell into the radio:
username admin
password blank
Use these commands to setup the network interfaces,
then IP, then gateway. Add NAT/MAS command and your
two devices are running like a router. External IP to
the outside (wireless) and fake IP on the inside for
the network to attach to.
wired side
/interface enable ether1, wlan1
/ip address add address=10.0.0.254/25 interface=wlan1
/ip address add address=192.168.0.254/24 interface=ether1
/ip route add gateway=10.0.0.1
add NAT/MAS
/ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat action=masquerade out-interface=wlan1
wireless side
/interface wireless set wlan1 ssid="essid" band=2.4ghz-b
mode=station disabled=no
