hello all
was wondering if it is possible at all with mikrotik products running ros6 to use mts as a wireless bridge .
For example just like ubiquity products do where the first acces point is hardwired into the main router then other ones just connect wireless without the Ethernet cables plugged in?
thank you in advance
without giving a proper answer, i’d just raise the issue of interference & efficiency.
you can’t do wds with capsman, so this option is again off from the table.
you’d need dual band APs/routers so you don’t waste “user” wireless bandwidth to provide backhaul for your AP. then you can use 2.4GHz as access and 5G as backhaul, or vice versa.
as far as i know, capsman is not capable of remote-provisioning a radio other than the bridge-ap operation mode. and if one wireless interface is governed by capsman, you may not do nothing with it on the router. so even if you have dual radios, you’d still need to configure the backhaul (semi) manually. i say semi, cause in a “wireless star” like topology it would be kind of easy.
but let’s say - for the sake of the uncovered weaknesses - we could somehow share a radio within a capsman environment between AP instances and a station that provides backhaul.
you will face the issue that you bw is essentially halved, because you use the same radio resource. and then - unless your central device doesn’t have multiple radios in the same band so you can run them on independent frequencies - you will have essentially all “satellite” APs operate on the same frequency, as the client instance needs to “tune in” to the central AP’s frequency, and this will imply that the remote APs will operate on the same frequency - and they need to be in range to the central one so they can have backhaul connectivity, and i guess it will result interference between the “satellite” APs.
so unless you will have like a “very low amount” of low traffic wireless clients on the network, i don’t think this is a good idea.
but that was just just from my armchair, as i am not a radio guy, so i might be totally wrong. 
thank you for your prompt reply
