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.

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

Subject: [AFMUG] Rocket M900 tests
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.
