How do I configure a HAP ac as a wireless access point

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi all,

I have a spare RouterBOARD 962UiGS-5HacT2HnT router. I want to configure it as a wireless access point. What do I need to do?
Could you please give me instructions from the terminal? I am blind so prefer using the commanddline because of accessibility challenges with the web fig interface and winbox.

I have done the following so far after resetting the router’s configuration to factory defaults.

  1. Disabled the dhcp server.
  2. Disabled the dhcp-client.
  3. Setup the wireless interface namely wlan2 with its associated security profile.
  4. The router has a fixed static IP address on my lan and i have set its gateway.

What do I have to do next?

Since you have disable dhcp server I’m going to assume that you want to have this just passthrough up to your router. For commands I’m assuming you aren’t running version 7 (pretty sure they are same, but haven’t messed with it). You also mentioned factory defaults, so:

You should already have a bridge interface. Can check by doing

interface bridge print

Example output where there is a bridge

Flags: X - disabled, R - running 
 #   NAME                                                                             MTU ACTUAL-MTU L2MTU
 0 R bridge1                                                                         auto       1500  1598

If you don’t have a bridge, please create one with

 interface bridge add

Created in this way it will be named “bridge1”

Once you have verified that you have a bridge you need to make sure that the interface you are using to connect to your router and the wlan2 interface are both members of the bridge. To check:

 interface bridge port print

Example output

Flags: X - disabled, I - inactive, D - dynamic, H - hw-offload 
 #     INTERFACE                      BRIDGE                      HW  PVID PRIORITY  PATH-COST INTERNAL-PATH-COST    HORIZON
 5 I H ether2                         bridge1                     yes    1     0x80         10                 10       none
 6 I   wlan2                          bridge1                            1     0x80         10                 10       none

If the port you are using to go to the router is not here please add it by:

interface bridge port add interface=ether1 bridge=bridge1

Once you have the uplink port and your wlan2 in the same bridge, assuming DHCP is set up for that port on the router your Wi-Fi clients will get IPs from it. You’ll also want to put the IP address on the bridge interface instead of on the uplink port. If that IP was 10.9.8.7/29 you could do:

ip address print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic 
 #   ADDRESS            NETWORK         INTERFACE                                                                                      
 0 D 192.168.0.6/24     192.168.0.0     MGMT vlan 666                                                                                  
 1   10.9.8.7/29        10.9.8.0        ether1                                                                                         
 2 X 192.168.88.1/24    192.168.88.0    bridge1
 ip address set 1 interface=bridge1

If matching the index number is difficult, you could also do:

ip address set [find address="10.9.8.7/29"] interface=bridge1

Hi,

Many thanks for your lucid instructions. I however am making a mistake somewhere. See the below verbose export. When I take the router to the location where it needs to be, I do not get any wireless signals from the router. I did try plugging in the LAN cable without successs. I can however access the router over thee LAN so something is working.

Can you post a non verbose option please LOL
/export hide-sensitive file=anynameyouwish

Why are there two IP addresses??
ip address
add address=192.168.5.6/24 comment=defconf disabled=no interface=bridge
network=192.168.5.0
add address=192.168.3.4/8 disabled=no interface=ether1 network=192.0.0.0

Yes, regular export or compact export are much easier to read through. Your wlan2 is enabled and in ap bridge as well as a bridge port so it should be broadcasting and passing through traffic to anything on ether2, ether3, ether4, ether5, or sfp1. If your devices are 5GHz compatible otherwise, it’s possible that autochannel landed on something your devices can’t detect. Could try setting a manual frequency to test, or enable wlan 1 with it’s old ssid to check if that is detected by your devices.

interface wireless set 1 frequency=5180

Hi,
Sorry about the verbose export and thanks for reminding me about the hide sensitive option.
I have 2 IP addresses because the router asked me for a lan side network address. I had to put something in which I did. Otherwise, web fig was not applying the configuration. I am happy to start from scratch. Please see below for the compact export.

The IP address 192.168.3.4 is my LAN ip address which I want to assign to the router.

But anyway, that config should have your SSID being broadcast. Might be an issue with either the hap or the device you’re checking wireless visibility with. Have you tried enabling wlan1 to check if your devices can see it? Could also see if wlan2 can detect other ssid when it performs a scan, assuming others are near you.

Hi,

Many thanks for the configuration. I found the problem. I had not assigned a dhcp client to the bridge.
