Yeah, a 2nd AP wired into the first router would eliminate any performance hit of having the router do both. Hard to say what the impact would be without testing though.

Hi, network engineer with a specialization in mikrotik, you’re on the right track.

You would configure the router to use one radio as your WAN connection, then NAT your internal connection using a masquerade rule. Pretty simple setup.

Some notable drawbacks for this dependent on model is that you will lose wireless speed as you will be using your wireless for upstream and downstream devices. This can be solved by using an AP on a different channel.

Note that mikrotik gives you a lot of ways to cut off your hands, so use safe mode for everything.

The specific topology you’re wanting to set up is something they teach you on day one at any mikrotik certification course.

As someone trapped using windows I also miss ye olde control panel, and they lob new pieces of it off with every feature update

Is there a version of this with some pixels in it?

You must be a fucking unemployed savant to be able to check every line of code being pushed to you daily.

I get this feeling from a lot of the posters here.

Whacky

Yeah it’s pretty bad

Have you tried just popping the drive with Linux installed out? If you boot to a boot menu and select another boot device is it just like… “fuck you, no, we use Linux now”

Yeah this is the is the biggest reason I dislike Linux forums in a broad sense. Snobby elitist pricks.

Don’t even get me started on arch Linux forums… my favorite is when someone says is something like “this is super fucking simple you just follow this guide: [insert wiki link that is basically a scientific dissertation on the history of arch]

I have several servers I’ve acquired over the years setup in a proxmox cluster
