Setting up 3 APs to a wifi router

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Backstory: I work onboard a cargo ship.
We have STARLINK internet onboard, but since the Starlink router is on the bridge, it is not giving signal to down floors where crew are staying
(We had 3 mikrotik APs before, with LAN connection on each deck)

For a solution, we bought a NETGEAR wifi router with 1 Wan port and 4 LAN ports.
We connected it to Starlink and bypassed starlink router, so now, internet is being transmitted through a NETGEAR router.

When I connect 3 Mikrotik APs to the netgear wifi router with cables, I am not getting any wifi transmitted through them. They are powered on.


How to setup all 3 Mikrotik AP routers to receive signal from the main router(Netgear) through the cable and transmit the wifi? The wifi going through mikrotik aps does not need to have the same name. It can be different and with password.
Or all 3 of them can have the same wifi name as main router with the same password, anything would work

Anything would work as long as these APs could somehow pick up the internet from the main router and broadcast it on other floors.( basically extend the internet from the top all the way down )

Any help is appreciated, if you need more clarification please feel free to ask

Knowing which Netgear router would help…
Knowing which MT AP would also help.

In general the idea is that the netgear gives each AP a different IP address.
Each AP has a basic setup as follows…
( yours may have less LAN ports for example )
( assuming the Netgear subnet is 192.168.1.0/2 and we assign 192.168.1.2/24 to the bridge and thus to the first Mikrotik AP 192.168.1.2/24 )

/tool mac-server mac-winbox

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Finally recommend depending if you have extra ports, like ether1 from NETGEAR,
use router 2 off bridge, for easy management of APs.

The idea being, that you can then plug your laptop into etherport2, change your ipv4 settings to 192.168.55.2 on the laptop and gain access.
