MikroTik WDS Point to Point Transparent Bridge

Example:
This example provides a basic MikroTik configuration script for both an Access Point and Station configured in WDS transparency mode. This is perfect for creating a basic layer2 bridge between two sites using MikroTik Routers.

Note:
You can paste this script directly into a "New Terminal" window or configure each step individually in Winbox as the command structure in most cases reflects the Winbox menu. All lines that begin with a "#" are ignored by MikroTik and as a result are used for commenting as shown below.

Important:
The Wireless Network Configuration will vary depending on your device and may require some tweaking. For example: I am using 5GHz frequency, chain 0 and 1, and 20/40MHz frequency width. Depending on your device some or all of these settings may be different for your MikroTik Router.
