Setup additional Mikrotik as Ap and Switch

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi All,

We have 2x MikroTik HapAc2 devices, (A) in the main house and (B) in the cottage a couple of meters away.

  • MikroTik (A) consist of configurations + CAPsMan configured
  • MikroTik (B) has no configuration but getting the CAPsMan configuration from MikroTik (A)

The issue that I am experiencing is that the ethernet ports on MikroTik (B) are not getting a DHCP or DNS from MikroTik (A) meaning that only the Wi-Fi on MikroTik (B) is working.

What am I missing or what configuration is needed on MikroTik (A) or (B) to get this working?

Your assistance would be appreciated.

I think by resetting B to CAPS Mode your problem will be solved.

If you post the current B config, we can know for sure:

/export file=anynameyoulike

Remove serial and any other private info.

There is almost no configuration, Exported below:

Move capsman discovery to Bridge_Interfaces interface and add ether1 to bridge Bridge_Interfaces .
