Nighthawk MK73 - AP Mode Satellite won't sync
I have a Nighthawk MK73. So first unit MR70 was configured in AP mode, when i'm trying to add satellite MS70 that is connected via ethernet cable it won't sync always get satellite timeout on the M...
Updated just for someone if will face same problem.
So current topology is like this:
mikrotik eth2 ----->MR70AP mode -> lan port (it won't sync over ethernet in case is used WAN port)
mikrotik eth3 ----->MS70
mikrotik eth4 ----->MS70
Reason why the MS won't sync is you have the MS connected to the host router and not behind the MR.
Connected like this and this does work:
mikrotik eth2 ----->MR70AP mode Wan port on MR ----->MR LAN port -----> MS70
If more LAN ports are needed behing the MR, which in most cases will be, then it would look like this;
mikrotik eth2 ----->MR70AP mode Wan port on MR ----->MR LAN port -----> Non managed 1Gb LAN switch -----> All MS70 connected to Lan switch.
