DHCP will work through only one non-WDS hop. On our UBNT stuff, the customers
are not WDS, but any intermediate bridges/hops are. For instance, if you're
doing a micro-POP off of a main AP, you'd want the "backhaul" CPE to be in WDS
mode. The CPEs connected to the micro AP would not need it. If you have a
Canopy SM/BH feeding that micro AP, you're all good, Canopy is transparent
bridging... unless you have translation bridging enabled, which sucks because
it's for the entire sector.

The small WISP I bought had everything bridged without WDS, as well as one
I'm sort of partnered with now.
DHCP doesn't work properly without WDS, however anything with a static IP
works without WDS.
A few clients did pull DHCP without WDS, but most did not.

that regard.
I'm guessing you weren't passing data because you need to enable WDS on
the AP and station.

Hello Kool Kats:
Hope you are enjoying a nice Sunday. Well I know some of you are in the
clutches of ole man Winter.
Did some testing with the M900 Rocket with dual pol Yagi installed at
Condor's Lower Comanche Peak site Friday afternoon.
The Good: Even at 8 miles blocked by buildings and houses, I could see
the AP on site survey menu with signals in the -89 to -95 dBm range but no
association. We had a mast with two antennas and M900 on truck with height
about 10 ft. AGL. We moved to higher point and signal jumped to -75 dBm,
The Bad: Radios associated but would not pass traffic using 5MHz
channels. I tried 3 MHz channels as well and would not either. Noise floor
was jumping from -95dBm to -81 dBm..
The association would stay up at -79 dB while moving and drop. As soon
as we had clear shot with would connect but pass no traffic from Internet. I
could make changes to AP but that was all.
We moved closer to site and parked at furniture store with clear LOS.
Even with a -65 dBm at 6 miles ,,,no Internet traffic. I had an IP from MT and
speed test would load slowly and error out with latency message. Pings were
all over the place with a few time outs. So interference was too great in
this part of town to use these. I will share screen shots in later posts.
We knew the 902.928 MHz noise floor in central and east side of El Paso
was high so I was not surprised. On the far west El Paso which borders with
New Mexico, we have a water company using these for SCADA and cameras at 1 1/2,
3 and 6 miles with no problems using 5 MHz channels colocated with Phoenix
Contact FHSS 900MHz I/O. This link has an Ubiquiti sector on AP and dual
TY-900 antennas at CPE side.
Note: The M900 AP is collocated with several M5 rockets on same tower.
