Configuration of cAP lite

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi,

I have an OPNsense appliance running which also runs a DHCP server and provides the wired internet connection to the cAP lite.

The devices which are connected to the cAP lite shall get their DHCP address not from the cAP lite but from the DHCP server running on the OPNsense.

Furthermore, I would like to see the packages from the original IP addresses on the OPNsense, not NATted by the cAP lite.

I am overwhelmed by the user interface of Router OS - how do I need to configure the cAP lite to achieve the above?

Thank you!

There is a nice tutorial on the forum:

You want to configure your cAP as an “AP switch”

Thanks, that worked. After some problems and using netinstall I now have nearly the setup that I intended.
