Point-to-Point Wireless LAN
Point-to-Point links provide a convenient way to connect a pair of clients on a short distance.
Let us consider the following point-to-point wireless network setup with two MikroTik wireless
routers:
To establish a point-to-point link, the configuration of the wireless interface should be as follows:
• A unique Service Set Identifier should be chosen for both ends, say "mt"
• A channel frequency should be selected for the link, say 2412MHz
• The operation mode should be set to ad-hoc
• One of the units (slave) should have wireless interface property join-net set to 0s (never create
a network), the other unit (master) should be set to 1s or whatever, say 10s. This will enable
the master unit to create a network and register the slave unit to it.
The following command should be issued to change the settings for the pc interface of the master
unit:
[admin@MikroTik] interface pc> set 0 mode=ad-hoc ssid1=mt frequency=2442MHz \
\... bitrate=auto
[admin@MikroTik] interface pc>
For 10 seconds (this is set by the property join-net) the wireless card will look for a network to
join. The status of the card is not synchronized, and the green status light is blinking fast. If the card
cannot find a network, it creates its own network. The status of the card becomes synchronized, and
the green status led becomes solid.
The monitor command shows the new status and the MAC address generated:
[admin@MikroTik] interface pc> monitor 0
synchronized: yes
associated: yes
frequency: 2442MHz
data-rate: 11Mbit/s
ssid: "mt"
access-point: 2E:00:B8:01:98:01
access-point-name: ""
signal-quality: 35
