Is it possible to build WISP based on m0n0wall wrap boards?

I tryed m0n0wall 1.3b on wrap 1e103 with CM9 cards in both slots and everything looks fine, but i coudnt get my Opt1 interface to work like wan connection for wireless clients on Opt2.

For example if i put wrap with omni antenna on some building 2-3km far from main base that is only way i can connect clients to other part of the network.

There are a number of WISP's that use m0n0wall.

When you say "work like WAN connection for wireless clients on OPT2", what do you mean? I don't think your description of how you want this to work is adequate to provide suggestions.

I wanted to say that all distant AP's dont have any wired network connections, so all traffic have to go trough Opt2 interfaces to the rest of network (mistyped in previous post that Opt1 should do that)

Maybe I cant explain with words but am sure that network diagram can make clear picture of what I wanted to ask.

This is how my WISP should look like.

OK, that diagram is very helpful.

On AP1, what you have labeled OPT2 should be assigned to WAN. The interface that gets the default gateway has to be the WAN interface. Same for AP2, AP3, and AP4. Everything else looks fine, with that in place you should be set.
