Hi everybodies,

I need example of routing design or bridge for my network.
Do you have a sample config for my network? Routing and hotspot settings? I read the StarOs reference guide but it does'nt show how to set a Wrap as repeater or how to route from one interface to another.
I need to use dual Atheros SR5 radio repeater on Wrap boards.

wrap/atherosSR5 <<----6miles---->> atherosSR5/wrap/atherosSR5 << ---2miles--->> atherosSR5/wrap/atherosSR2<--->Clients

Thanks in advance,

First of all, you should not be using SR5 units for the backhaul. We have a simple CM9 capable of connecting 52 miles, so you do not need that to connect 6 miles and certainly not at 2 miles. You are harming the spectrum and spending money needlessly.

There is nothing required to route from one interface to the other because that is handled automatically by Linux. If you are not sure how to enter static routes then simply enable RIPv2 and let it manage it for you. If you wish to learn about your system and take control of then I suggest some Cisco books on TCP/IP and routing.

All prefixes are 192.168

IP= --------1.1 --------------- 1.2 ---------------------2.1 -------------2.2 -----------------3.1 ---> clients
wrap/atherosSR5 <<----6miles---->> atherosSR5/wrap/atherosSR5 << ---2miles--->> atherosSR5/wrap/atherosSR2
