RouterOS with Two NICS on old laptop

RouterOS General
1

Hi there!
I have some tricky question
I’ve got old Acer Laptop (x86), which I want to transform in home router with wireless AP using laptop’s two NICs ( Ethernet and WiFi interface )
Theoretically, RouterOS demo license allows to test Wireless AP and Wireless Client and Bridge for 24 hours
I’ve installed RouterOS to laptop, but in interface I can only see the one and only Ethernet1 for wired interface
Is there some issues with Wifi NIC ( according to demo license ) ?
Will it appear in interface menu if I buy 4 level license and be able to work as Wireless AP

Thanks in advance

Probably the Wifi card is not supported by RouterOS.

IMHO this project does not make sense. Even if it worked, you can get brand new hAP lite for lower price than L4 licence, which you’d have to buy for your laptop AP. Add few more dolars to L4 licence price and you can have dual-band hAP ac lite instead. And in long term, you’ll still save on electricity.

Guess You right about hAP AC lite,
