AP in client mode

Hi,

I need to connect a machine that has ethernet only to my Wifi. There is no RJ45 outlet nearby. Plus: the machine is DHCP only, no way to assign the network configuration by hand.
So I bought a routerboard map lite. But I cannot get it into client mode.
If there is a recipe anywhere, that would be great.

Thank you,
Rainer

If your AP is Mikrotik, set your client device wireless mode to station-bridge. Disable its DHCP. Use any port except ether1 for the wired device.

Personally in this config, I like to wipe the client device to no defaults, login with winbox by mac address, create bridge, add all ports to bridge, create DHCP client on the bridge, then setup wireless in station-bridge mode. That way you don’t have the clutter of all the default config as a NAT router.

If the AP is not Mikrotik, you’ll need to use station-pseudobridge wireless mode, or NAT the wifi interface in station mode.
