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=nstreme­-dual­-slave 
[admin@MikroTik] > interface wireless set wlan2 mode=nstreme­-dual­-slave  

1.6. Creating nstreme dual interface and setting Tx and Rx radios and frequencies:

[admin@MikroTik] > interface wireless nstreme­-dual add rx­-radio=wlan1 tx­-radio=wlan2 
rx-­band=5ghz tx-­band=5ghz rx-­frequency=5180 tx­-frequency=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: 00:11:11:11:11:11):

[admin@MikroTik] > interface wireless nstreme­dual print 
Flags: X ­ disabled, R ­ running 
0 X  name="nstreme1" mtu=1500 mac­address=00:11:11:11:11:11 arp=enabled 
disable­running­check=no tx­-radio=wlan2 rx­-radio=wlan1 remote­mac=00:00:00:00:00:00 
tx-­band=5ghz tx­-frequency=5300 rx­-band=5ghz rx­-frequency=5180 
rates­b=1Mbps,2Mbps,5.5Mbps,11Mbps
rates­a/g=6Mbps,9Mbps,12Mbps,18Mbps,24Mbps,36Mbps,48Mbps,54Mbps 
framer­policy=none framer­limit=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=nstreme­-dual-­slave 
[admin@MikroTik] > interface wireless set wlan2 mode=nstreme­-dual­-slave  

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: 00:11:11:11:11:11 [step 1.8]):

[admin@MikroTik] > interface wireless nstreme­-dual add rx­-radio=wlan1 tx­-radio=wlan2 
rx­-band=5ghz tx-­band=5ghz rx-­frequency=5300 tx­-frequency=5180 
remote­mac=00:11:11:11:11:11 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: 00:22:22:22:22:22):

[admin@MikroTik] > interface wireless nstreme­dual print 
Flags: X ­ disabled, R ­ running 
0  R name="nstreme1" mtu=1500 mac­address=22:22:22:22:22:22 arp=enabled 
disable­running­check=no tx­-radio=wlan2  rx­-radio=wlan1 remote­mac=00:11:11:11:11:11 
tx­-band=5ghz tx-­frequency=5180 rx-­band=5ghz rx-­frequency=5300 
rates­b=1Mbps,2Mbps,5.5Mbps,11Mbps 
rates­a/g=6Mbps,9Mbps,12Mbps,18Mbps,24Mbps,36Mbps,48Mbps,54Mbps 
framer­policy=none framer­limit=2560 

III. MikroTik Device 1

1.9. Setting the MAC address of the remote nstreme interface (in this example: 00:22:22:22:22:22 [step 2.8]):

[admin@MikroTik] > interface wireless nstreme­-dual set nstreme1 
remote­mac=00:22:22:22:22:22 disabled=no
