AP should receive DHCP-Server via the Internet
Hello everyone,
quick question.
I have installed two APs at one site/location. They both get an IP address and are available via port sharing in the controller at another location.
Now I would like the APs to keep the IP from the existing network, but all traffic is routed via the WLAN to an ER707-M2, for example, which then also assigns DHCP etc.
This was previously also possible with the Capsman solution from MIkrotik. But the APs were so old that we have now switched to Omada.
I really hope that there is a solution like this here too. As I probably have no chance of installing my own router on site.

Hi @TW_EPC
Where is the ER707-M2 plugged to? A remote site from the two EAP units?
If a remote site, you can configure site-to-site VPN to route the two EAPs' traffic to the other site.
Below is a configuration guide:
If the ER707-M2 is on the same site of the EAP, this is working as expected by default.

Hello Vincent, thanks for the message.
The point is that the EAP forwards the traffic independently without a router.
So at location A I only have two EAPs. And at location B I have the ER707-M2. So can the EAPs also forward traffic from location A to location B without their own router?

Hi @TW_EPC
If there is no router on location A (EAP's location), how can the EAP access to the Internet?

Hi Vincent,
so there is an existing network, yes. The AP simply establishes an Internet connection.
However, the router, for example, cannot use VLANs etc. and should only give the AP an IP address. The rest should be routed through.
In this case, a school network. AP is connected to the school network, but all traffic should be routed directly to another router.

Hi @TW_EPC
You should do this via the school router and the other router.
Take the topology in the FAQ for example, the school router(EAP site) is Router B, and the other router is Router A.
