Create a mikrotik hotspot in the same bridge using Ubiquiti nanostation M2

How to set up hotspot and PPPoE on the same bridge interface.

This manual assumes you have PPPoE or DHCP configured in a bridge or LAN interface.

It is possible to set up all three; PPPoE, DHCP, and Hotspot on the same router and with the same interface.

I will assume you have all LAN interfaces the n bridge.

I will also assume you have one interface going to the main switch or your distribution system.

If you have more than one outgoing interface, we will cover that in a follow-up manual but you can also use this method to achieve the same results.

We also will be using ubiquiti nanostation m2 for demonstration.

Create Vlan Interface and hotspot.

1.       Go to interface -> VLAN



 

2.       Add vlan to an outgoing interface (It can be on the bridge).

 

3.       Set up hotspot on this VLAN interface.



 

Set up Nanostation

Login to nanostation m2. This is the nanostation that will offer wifi to hotspot users.

1.       Activate WDS (Transparent Bridge Mode) under wireless tab and click change but don’t apply.



2.       Go to Network tab and change configuration mode to Advanced. Keep Network mode in bridge.



 

3.       Scroll to VLAN Network section and tag the LAN0 interface with the VLAN ID set in mikrotik.



4.       Remove LAN0 from the bridge and add LAN0.45(VLAN interface) to the bridge.



5.       Change management Interface to LAN0 and set your Management IP addresses.



Click change then apply.

Real Estate: Expanded

  Real estate has long been regarded as one of the most profitable and reliable investments out there, and for good reason.

Additionally, real estate provides a source of passive income through rental payments, which can be a great way to supplement your income. As someone who has built a successful real estate portfolio over the course of 25 years, I can attest to the benefits of investing in real estate. My journey began with the FHA first time home buyers program, which allowed me to purchase a home with just a 3.5% down payment. This program is a great option for those who don't have a lot of money but want to get started in real estate investing.

The Power of Real Estate: My Personal Experience

Real estate has long been considered one of the most profitable and reliable investments out there, and I can say from personal experience that this is absolutely true. Over the course of 25 years, I have built a successful real estate portfolio, starting with just a single-family home and eventually expanding to four properties. In this post, I will share my real estate journey, and hopefully inspire you to take the plunge into this incredibly rewarding investment. My journey began with the FHA first time home buyers program, which allowed me to purchase a home with just a 3.5% down payment.

By using this program, I was able to purchase my first property, which I lived in for two years before moving out and renting it to a tenant. I repeated this process three more times, purchasing a new property every two years, until I eventually owned four properties. This strategy work...
