Nstreme dual Step-by-Step

Here is a step-by-step explanation how to enable nstreme dual on a fresh installed MikroTik devices:


I. MikroTik Device 1

1.1. Enabling wireless cards 1 and 2:
[admin@MikroTik] > interface enable wlan1
[admin@MikroTik] > interface enable wlan2

1.2. Assigning IP address to the ethernet interface:
[admin@MikroTik] > ip address add address=192.168.1.1/24 interface=ether1

1.3. Creating bridge interface:

[admin@MikroTik] > interface bridge add

1.4. Adding ethernet interface to the bridge interface:

[admin@MikroTik] > interface bridge port add interface=ether1 bridge=bridge1

1.5. Setting wireless cards 1 and 2 to nstreme mode:

[admin@MikroTik] > interface wireless set wlan1 mode=nstremedualslave
[admin@MikroTik] > interface wireless set wlan2 mode=nstremedualslave

1.6. Creating nstreme dual interface and setting Tx and Rx radios and frequencies:
[admin@MikroTik] > interface wireless nstremedual add rxradio=wlan1 txradio=wlan2
rx-=5ghz tx-=5ghz rx-=5180 txfrequency=5300

1.7. Adding nstreme interface to the bridge:
[admin@MikroTik] > interface bridge port add interface=nstreme1 bridge=bridge1

1.8. Checking the MAC address of the nstreme interface (in this example: 11:11:11:11:11:11):
[admin@MikroTik] > interface wireless nstreme print
Flags: X disabled, R running
0 X name="nstreme1" mtu=1500 mac=11:11:11:11:11:11 arp=enabled
disable=no txradio=wlan2 rxradio=wlan1 remote=00:00:00:00:00:00
tx-=5ghz txfrequency=5300 rxband=5ghz rxfrequency=5180
rates=1Mbps,2Mbps,5.5Mbps,11Mbps
rates/g=6Mbps,9Mbps,12Mbps,18Mbps,24Mbps,36Mbps,48Mbps,54Mbps
framer=none framer=2560


II. MikroTik Device 2

2.1. Enabling wireless cards 1 and 2:

[admin@MikroTik] > interface enable wlan1
[admin@MikroTik] > interface enable wlan2

2.2. Assigning IP address to the ethernet interface:

[admin@MikroTik] > ip address add address=192.168.1.2/24 interface=ether1

2.3. Creating bridge interface:
[admin@MikroTik] > interface bridge add

2.4. Adding ethernet interface to the bridge interface:
[admin@MikroTik] > interface bridge port add interface=ether1 bridge=bridge1

2.5. Setting wireless cards 1 and 2 to nstreme mode:
[admin@MikroTik] > interface wireless set wlan1 mode=nstremedual-
[admin@MikroTik] > interface wireless set wlan2 mode=nstremedualslave

2.6. Creating Nstreme dual interface and setting Tx and Rx radios and frequencies and setting the MAC address of the remote nstreme interface (in this example: 11:11:11:11:11:11 [step 1.8]):
[admin@MikroTik] > interface wireless nstremedual add rxradio=wlan1 txradio=wlan2
rxband=5ghz tx-=5ghz rx-=5300 txfrequency=5180
remote=11:11:11:11:11:11 disabled=no

2.7. Adding nstreme interface to the bridge:
[admin@MikroTik] > interface bridge port add interface=nstreme1 bridge=bridge1

2.8. Checking the MAC address of the nstreme interface (in this example: 22:22:22:22:22:22):
[admin@MikroTik] > interface wireless nstreme print
Flags: X disabled, R running
0 R name="nstreme1" mtu=1500 mac=22:22:22:22:22:22 arp=enabled
disable=no txradio=wlan2 rxradio=wlan1 remote=11:11:11:11:11:11
txband=5ghz tx-=5180 rx-=5ghz rx-=5300
rates=1Mbps,2Mbps,5.5Mbps,11Mbps
rates/g=6Mbps,9Mbps,12Mbps,18Mbps,24Mbps,36Mbps,48Mbps,54Mbps
framer=none framer=2560

III. MikroTik Device 1

1.9. Setting the MAC address of the remote nstreme interface (in this example: 22:22:22:22:22:22 [step 2.8]):
[admin@MikroTik] > interface wireless nstremedual set nstreme1
remote=22:22:22:22:22:22 disabled=no
