Simple setup router and ap same subnet

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi, I'm quite new to Mikrotik and am experience configuration challenge. I'd like to configure simple home network with one Mikrotik Router hEX (RB750Gr3) and cAP ac (RBcAPGi-5acD2nD). Both Router and WiFi AP in the same subnet, WiFi AP will forward DHCP requests to the Router.

Router:
IP: 192.168.88.1
DHCP: 192.168.88.100 - 200
WiFi:
IP: 192.168.88.2
DHCP: requests sent to router and offered to the WiFi clients.

I've also attached drawing of the scenario.

Can something like this be done and how?

Thank you!

Sure.

Remove DHCP server from cap.
Add static IP or via DHCP client on cap with static lease on router
Add all ports to bridge
You can also remove all firewall rules, since they will not be needed anymore.
And that should be it.

Some added things can be done to make it more clean but that should be about it.

Alternative:

  • start from caps mode (which will bridge all ports, dhcp client on ether1 and no firewall)
  • remove caps mode from wifi interfaces and set them up again as you need

Thank you holvoetn, I think that I was missing configuration part where I should “Add all ports to bridge”.

Problem solved :slight_smile:
