You can use your wlan1 as WAN port and wireless mode station-pseudobridge on remote Mikrotik. Do not forget to synchronise time of remote device.
Or below is what I use reliably with Mikrotik on both ends: On your Mikrotik router
/interface wireless
set mode=ap-bridge ssid=YOUR-SSID wds-default-bridge=bridge-local wds-mode=static-mesh
/interface wireless wds
add disabled=no master-interface=wlan1 wds-address=xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx (MAC of remote Mikrotik)
On your remote Mikrotik clean/remove setup (especially disable DHCP, NAT, edit firewall) and put all interfaces to bridge, set DHCP client on bridge and add your security profile and change wifi mode:
/interface wireless
set frequency=auto mode=station-wds ssid=YOUR-SSID
All LAN ports on remote Mikrotik are now wireless connected to your LAN.
Sure, WPA2-PSK as security profile and optionally disable PMKID.
Simplified description:
Run your secured WiFi normally on your router, add settings for WDS, add static WDS interface with MAC of second device.
On other device start without any setup. Add bridge and DHCP client on bridge. Add security profile, change wlan1 mode to station-wds.
After connection you will see on router in log …connected, wants wds. That’s all.
Then think about some firewall, etc. on other connected device.
What about WiFi standard? To leave it on BGN? Or select just N only? I am not sure how WiFi behaves when connectivity start to deteriorate - does it persist in, say, N, or reduces standard?
