Hey

I want to setup a mikrotik device as an AP. it would connect to my router via an ethernet connection, and then phones would connect to my mikrotik device.

I have the settings as followed. However this doesn't work. I can connect to the mikrotik device, but i cannot connect to my router via the wifi connection.

thank you in advance

Hello,

I’ll be assuming that there’s only one subnet for all devices.

You can configure your AP as a basic L2 device. Add ether1 to the bridge. Make sure it’s address (bridge1) is on your routers subnet and doesn’t clash with another. No dhcp client or firewall on AP.

Should be ok.

I think the settings i have are mostly similar to what you said. But it doesn’t work :frowning:

Did you add ether1 to the bridge?

If you have your network connected to ether1, that’s not part of your bridge. Ether add it to the bridge (like Alain suggests) or connect your network to one of the other Ethernet ports. I have a RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN setup that way, with all ports added to the bridge (ether1-9, wlan1 & -2 and sfp-sfpplus1, with wlan ports in ap-bridge mode). Works fine.

I have the ethernet cable connected to ether3, which is in the bridge.

ok so i think i figured it out. it’s my stupid router. i had to turn off the wireless on my router or it won’t work somehow I don’t know why.

The reason i had wireless on was because the devices are far away and i don’t wanna walk when I set it up.

thx all for help
