hAP lite as client AP + hAP mini as AP

Hi guys. first of all, please have patience with me, im a total beginner. I have 2 mikrotiks: hAP lite and hAP mini. I need to put hAP lite in the range of the existing wireless router and set it up as an client access point. then i have to connect hAP lite with a LAN cable to hAP mini which will be an classic AP for wireless laptops (i also need LAN ports for wired computers for internet on hAP mini). i dont even know how to set this up using the “quick set” functions on the devices. Can someone please guide me to the solution?

Ok, i managed to get this combinations working. This is how i made it:

isp router connected over WiFi to hap lite(cpe mode)

Hap lite connected over lan cable to hap mini(home AP mode)
I bridged all interfaces/ports to LAN on both devices and set static ip adresses on both devices in the isp router range but outside of its dhcp range.

Questions:

  1. Why is speed over WiFi very slow (1.5 - 3 mbps) when a device is connected over WiFi to hap mini? If i connect devices over lan cable to hap mini or hap lite the speed is normal (cca 12-15 mbps)? There are no obstructions, everything is next to each other currently and there is no channel interference.
  2. Is this setup the same as using one mikrotik as range extender or does this eliminate one wireless hop that cuts the speed in half?

Update: i managed to rule out the hap mini as the culprit, i guess. I connected an old airlive air4g router (instead of hap mini), configured it as a regular AP and i still get the same bad speed results. Please someone enlighten me :slight_smile:

Anyone?
