Home Access Point No internet access

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

I am having problems setting up my RB912UAG-2HPnD as a simple wireless access point. My firewall is a separate device that provides DHCP and NAT.

I am new to RouterOS.

The wap is running ROS 5.26 and I cannot upgrade because it is telling me I have no internet connection. My wireless device is not getting an IP address from the firewall appliance.

—internet----firewall—192.168.5.0/24–switch-----WAP----------mobile devices
-----Workstation
-----NAS
-----AppleTV
-----TiVo

The MACs associated with my routerboard have DHCP reservations of 192.168.5.10 and 192.168.5.11. Ether1 of my WAP is getting 192.168.5.10 from the firewall. I can ping my wap from my workstation, my workstation from my wap, but not my firewall from my wap. I can ping my firewall from workstation.

Ether1 is on the LAN not WAN.

What settings do I need to modify?

You need to bridge the wlan1 and ether1 interfaces and add an IP address or DHCP-client on the bridge interface.

/interf bri add auto-mac=no admin-mac=[mac address of ether interface]
/ip dhcp-client add interf=bridge1 disabled=no
/interf bri port add bri=bridge1 interf=ether1
/interf bri port add bri=bridge1 interf=wlan1
