I’m a new user of MikroTik routers and I need some advice for WiFi configure. This is the model: https://routerboard.com/RBwAP2nD
Earlier I had some issue with entering into the router via WinBox and I managed to solve that with netInstall installing again the routerOS.
Now I am not able to see or use IP address also to entering the router via browser using.
192.168.88.1 is not working!
Second thing is that I can connect to the WiFi of router, but I am stuck to configure to receive internet from ISP.
I was looking to the [manual configuration] file but it didn’t work to me.
How can I connect my router to the internet? Here is a close look of the WinBox.
Thanks!

And this is the IP address which is shown on WinBox and is not working obvious. click the image for full size
Based on your first screenshot you are not using the IP segment 192.168.88.0 at all on your router.
Your local IP address is 192.168.1.1
You have set the subnet mask to /8 (255.0.0.0) I guess you have to revert that back to /24 (255.255.255.0)
Also your WAN connection is getting an IP address in range of 192.168.1.0/24
My suggestion would be to configure 192.168.x.0/24 for your local lan (where x is something you choose, not being 1)
Thank @Rudios for your response too.
Now I am not having any IP inside the WiFi network.
I was only able to change the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0/24.
Here is a close look of other windows.
This is example is being loged via WiFi but only with WinBox, not with IP (192.168.88.1).
If you want that your wAP would act simply as a AP bridge between your current router who is managing dhcp pool and internet connections ( 192.168.1.1 ), login into your wAp on it’s MAC address, not 192.168.88.1, and do the following in New Terminal window:
putting in bridge mode, alocating ether1 and wlan1 ports to bridge created and add ip address to wlan1 ( 192.168.1.253/24, to be in the same lan with your dhcp router - 192.168.1.1 -,
your Wifi wAP would act as a transparent bridge between your wifi clients and current router who’s managing internet connection)
- do not forget to change preshared key: > wpa-pre-shared-key=test123 wpa2-pre-shared-key=test123> ; i have put there for purpose of testing wifi key: test123 - do not forget to change > ssid from “Mikrotik” > to whatever you desire; you could do it from wireless → interfaces, double click on wlan1 and change to desire name in field: SSID, then hit APPLY.
Verify ip → firewall → Filter rules that might have left over rules from default configuration that might interference with new config. If you can’t handle it post here result of /ip firewall filter export and we will guide you somehow.
Thanks @janus20 for your response. I will make these changes and I will write later after them.
I just want to avoid 192.168.1.1 address since this IP is using other router for LAN network. I will stick to 192.168.88.1.
Is this okay?
Sure, it is ok but you will need to add default route to proper lan gateway ( modify in step 3. with proper gateway or skip step 3 and may do it from ip → routes, click ‘+’, in general tab of new route leave Dst. address 0.0.0.0/0 untouched and click in field Gateway: and enter proper gateway ip address).
Hi,
In ip → routes as you see in quick set you do not have default route to 192.168.1.1 ( AS 0.0.0.0 bridge1 reachable ) that why it is not working.
Short way from ip → routes:
a. delete second rule DS 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 reachable
b. modify first rule AS 0.0.0.0 bridge1 reachable, double click on it and in gateway field instead of “bridge1” put “192.168.1.1”
You should have:
I just managed to change the “Interface” of 192.168.88.1/24 from “ether1” to “bridge” and now the router is transmitting internet via WiFi.
Here is a close look.
Also WebFig is working with 192.168.1.45 IP address.
The only thing which is bothering me is that the download is a little bit slow. Is there any setting for getting a higher speed of download or something?
On the same network with other WiFi router I get a much higher speed.
Well, for a quick view, you could change channel width from “20Mhz” to “20/40Mhz Ce”, in the first place.
You could do that directly into Quick Set window or accessing, from the left menu, wireless → interfaces tab → double click wlan1 interface then into wireless tab select channel width new value from drop down list.
Disconnect and reconnect to your wifi AP; any difference?
Nope, i think ap bridge is fine. Maybe frequency but i have noticed that your signal si some kind of low ( -73db if that is your laptop).
Could you give a comparation list with other wifi router which you say you have better speed?
( chanel width, frequvency, signal level, download speed, ping -n 20 wifi roiuter ip and ping -n 20 192.168.1.45/192.169.1.1 - to see if lose any packets )
Sorry, it is to late i have not briliant ideea yet
