Winbox or browser can be used to do this. The demonstration here below is by using Winbox.

The Mode by default is AP-bridge, and that is what it should be.

On SSID is where you put the name of the wireless you prefer



Next go to WDS Tab

configure as the image below demonstrates



2. While you are still on Wireless

Go to SECURITY PROFILE and click on the default interface that is there

WPA and WPA2 Pre-shared key is where you put your wireless security key/password



3. To configure IP Addresses, go to IP on the left handside of the screen and then choose ADDRESSES

Configure the public IP on ether1-gateway interface and private IP on the bridge-local interface



4. To configure the GATEWAY, Go to IP then ROUTES

Click the + sign to add the gateway interface. on the screen appeared, type the gateway on the gateway space


5. To configure DNS, go to IP then DNS.

On the screen that appears, type the DNS on the Servers space.

6. To configure the DHCP, go to IP then DHCP Server.

On the screen that appears, choose DHCP Setup and click next, next,.... if you have no changes to make. make sure the DHCP interface is the one you configured the private IP address.

And you are done.

ENJOY THE INTERNET :-)
