Need some help setting up a simple network

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hello all and thank you for reading.

I have a 2sHPn and I have been trying again and again to just setup something very simple and I dont know what I am doing wrong.

The network just need to be as follows

My laptop(s) WiFi > 2sHPn wireless(w/ DHCP) > the 2sHPn ethernet port is hooked to a data acquisition system. There is no WAN.

I have setup Mikrotik routers for small networks before and was able to get through it, but it was a more typical setup with WAN.

Every time I think I might be making headway I lose the ability to connect to the hardware and have to do a reset.

Thank you all in advance,

Create a bridge, and put both wlan and ether interface to that bridge.
Define a security profile to connect via your laptop.
I assume you want a plain bridging connection.

Great that did work. I was over thinking it before.

Now is it as simple to attached a DHCP server to the bridge to get it to serve up IP addresses? Yesterday when I would try setting up DHCP I could never get to work and I figured I was missing something simple.

Thanks again.

Awesome, thanks that worked. I was over thinking it.

Now can I easily attached a DHCP server to the bridge and have it serve up IP address to the clients? For now I just have the bridge setup with manually setup IP addresses.

Create a DHCP server, attached to the bridge.
Define the correct network and specify DNS and Gateway in order to hand these to DHCP client.
