MikroTik Tutorial 78 - Ubiquiti AP bridged to Mikrotik router

hi everyone welcome back to another tutorial and today I'm going to show you how to connect your ubiquity access point to your mikrotik router so whatever is the is a mikrotik up light and of ubiquity nano station Luco m2 and i'm going to show you auto connect connect it to your router to get internet access so the first thing that we are going to do is to configure the mikrotik router and how you do that is to plug your ethernet cable into either port 2 to 3 any of these port from 2 to 3 and after which you're going to plug the other end into your computer we are not going to use port 1 because port 1 is designated for your internet connection which is like your modem so we are not going to use that sort of so I'm going to head over to the computer and show you how to configure your router after which I'm going to show you how to configure your access point all right so I'm now connected to the router so the first thing that I'm going to do is check the bridge to ensure that the port that I'm going to connect the access point to is in the default bridge if very if you are running a hotspot you need to ensure that the port that you are going to use to offer the Internet service through the access point that port is also in your bridge that is associated with your odd spot but from for my access point they are all in the default bridge so I don't need to make an adjustment here next thing that I need to do is just to check the addresses and the default address for my bridge is 192 168 80 that 1/24 and you need to make a note of your network because this is what you're going to use in order to configure your access point so when now go over to the access point and start configuring it you see oh I use some of these settings the other thing that we need to look at is the pool the address pool and this is where the DHCP server of addresses from and the pool by default skip a few addresses you realize from address IP address 80 that tool right up to 10 so it start to nine is skipped from the DHCP server so you can actually static those IP addresses and assign them to your different devices such as an access point so here we don't need to do anything but if there was a situation where you were offering where the IP address was 80 that one et that two or something like that you'd have to make an adjustment because I don't want the DHCP server trying to issue the same ip address as your access point so those are the main thing that I just need to check on your router before configuring your your access point so I'm going to connect to the access point now and configure it there are a few things that you need to do the first thing is to change your network settings but before I do that I'm going to disconnect my router and connect access point to my computer directly so now we are going to configure the ubiquity access point so we need to connect the access point to your computer we are going to need two cables one is going to connect to the LAN port and the other end is going to connect going to plug into the PIO e port on your power brick next you're going to use another cable and this cable is going to be used to connect the access point to your computer so you're going to plug it into the LAN port and then this end is what you're going to use the plug in to your computer so I'm going to show you know how to configure your Ethernet adapter on your PC to communicate with the router and with the access point and then we're going to and then I'm going to show you how to configure the access point so let us ed over to the computer right now and start configuring so the access point is now connected so what I'm going to do is to go to my network adapter so I'm going to right click and go to open network and sharing Center can click on your adapter with the properties and double click on Internet Protocol version 4 double click on that and I'm going to set an IP address here the default IP address for ubiquity access points are 192 168 dot 1.20 that's a default so in order for me to connect to it I would have to set an IP that is within that same subnet so I'm going to use 192.168.1.3 2 and press tab and the windows will automatically fill out the subnet mask but this is a subnet for this network causes the it is a slash turn it 24 press ok ok and no I'm going to open a browser and I'm going to go to the access point and address is one ninety two dot one sixty eight dot one dot twenty you will be greeted with this message does click continue to the next page and the default username is you be empty and the password is the same thing you'll be NT are you going to select your country it agree click login so I'm now logged in to the access point and this is all it looks and I'm going to go to wireless and I'm going to change the wireless mode to access point and I'm going to use for the SSID I'm going to use TK s J a as SSID for the channel width you can use 40 or 20 but 40 will give you a higher throughput than than 20 so you can leave it at 40 and for the channel known we'll leave that as auto unless you have a specific channel that you want to operate on because what auto will do is that the access point will change frequency when there is saturation of a particular frequencies if there's congestion are in lotta noise on a particular channel the access point will will switch to the lease noisy channel so you can leave it on auto for the poor output you can leave it as the max so this is the maximum Paul put for this access point which is 23 decibel and for the rate and the data rate you can leave that as is so going to go ed on to security and I'm going to select wpa2 a es and I'm going to put in a password [Music] so this is a password that when a client is connecting to your access point that is a password that they will need to use the connect click Change and by default the access point will access to change the default password so the default password is UB and T and I'm going to just put in a password it change no I need to just go back to this tab here and this stub access the ubiquity access point as a feature named ear MUX is a proprietary feature that their access point uses to communicate it has some features where it's switched between the channel says like there's a there are some channels that are not really used by the normal Wi-Fi spectrum and what this does it switched to those channels but if this is enable your clients we're using smart phones or laptops won't be able to connect to your access point so you need to uncheck this for it to work so this will be the access point beef as if just unknown as a normal access point so I've configured a wireless no we're going to head over to network and the default mode is bridge so we're going to leave it there and for the IP address we're going to set IP address to the same address range as or rota so rota is 88 so the IP address that we're going to give this is 88 lat - and for router it's the Gateway is 80 dot 1 and for the DNS the same et not one because these are because our rotors run in original DNA server so we'll set those 2.0 or DNS server to a rota and that is the only thing that we're going to change here so you change advance and the only thing that I'm going to enable here is install a IRP control this has to do with the with the power output of the access point so this give you more control over the output so I'm going to enable it and then in services you can enable the NTP client this will update the time under on the access point and allow you to see the logs at a particular time correct time that is if you are in the NTP server in your network you could change this address to your address if you need to it change and then we are going to go to system and then in system know you have the option of changing the access point username and what we're not going to do that no and the device name so you can change the device name if you want and here you can change your time zone so I'm I'm going to change it to mine and then it change so although I'm clicking change it doesn't apply the settings yet as yet until when I click apply up here so this apply actually apply all the changes that I have made so far so I'm going to click apply I know the access point it's it's applying all the changes that I have made so far after this is completed I would need to change my network adapter back to what it was which is auto as you can see the network adapter is disabled and you realize it it has redirect me to eat inna to which is access point but I won't be able to connect Lea because my network that I'm on is is 0/24 network so in order to connect back to this access point I would have to change my network back to what it was but what I'm going to do is just select obtain IP automatically and say my DNA stopped it automatically also I know I'm going to connect my router to connect my access point to the router and then the rotor will actually give me an IP address from that network and the access point will automatically connect to the router so close these and I'm going to know this content access point from my PC and plug it into the router so I'm going to show you how to do that all right so we have finished configuring the access point no so we have configured access point on the router so we are going to connect the access point to your router to get internet access through it the key battery used to connect to your PC you're going to plug that into any one of these available ports so I'm just going to plug it in and one of them and know this access point will be able to communicate with your router and provide Internet access wirelessly the connections on the power brick remains the same the green cable goes to the LAN port and connects into and one of the available ports on your router and excluding port one as I said before the port one port one is for internet and this gray cable plugs into the PIO e port and the POA port gives the access point power on eating it at the same time so I'm going to no head back to the computer no and then show you all both of them are working together so I've just connected the access point to the rotor and the rotor is know and knowing my network adapters plug the cable from a network adapters plug directly into the rotor and the login page for the access point is not up so I can log log back into the access point and we can look at the status of the access point in the station section it will show you then the stations that are connected are the clients that are connected to the access point so if I head over to to my router IP neighbors and it will show you the client the devices that are within your network what the device is us to have a feature the network discovery feature enabled so now we're seeing the access point and it is no communicating with our rota and it is on the same network as our rota so the next thing that I'm going to do is that I'm going to do a test where I'm going to use when the connect to the access point using a another device and you'll be able to see whether or not it's working or I think one thing that I should have changed is the channel which from 40 to 20 because just remember what that will do for T when your channel is 40 it only will allow one device to to it such an a width of 20 will allow multiple devices so I just so that is what I need to change so I'm going to try and connect again so I've connected to the access point now so I'm going to go back to mean hit on station and it should show me the device that is connected so so now I have one device that is connected to the access point and it give them an IP address to five to eighty eight or to five to so if I go back into my rotor and got IP dhcp server I'm supposed to see in the DHCP server on my rotor issue in that IP so now we have completed the configuration and we have proven that the access point is not working properly with your with the rotor so that is all you would connect your ubiquity access point to your mikrotik router to to get internet access so that's it for this tutorial if you like this video please give me a thumbs up and if you haven't subscribed please remember to do so so thanks for watching you [Music]
