Station Bridge to be Wi-fi Access Point as well

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Good day,

Summary:
I’m new to setting up Mikrotik and want to create a Point to Point Camera system with Wi-Fi access.

Equipment:
I have an OmniTik - RBOmniTikPG-5HacD - and a Grove - RBGrooveGA-52HPacn

Detail:
The OmniTik will be at the house working as the AP and the Groove will be at the Gate about 150m away.
I will connect an IP camera to the Grove, streaming the gate image back to the house.
I want to Grove to be setup as a Wi-Fi access point as well so when I’m at the gate I can connect to the Wi-Fi with my phone

Work done so far:
I have done the basic setup of the Omnitik and the Groove. The Groove can connect to the Omnitik and I can see the video image.

Help needed:
I tried to search the internet for videos, but everyone just show the basic Point to Multipoint (AP to CPE but with now Wi-Fi at the CPE). I don’t know how to activate / add the wi-fi function to the groove.

The basic setup is as follow:
AP - OmniTik Settings:
Wireless Mode = AP Bridge
Wireless Protocol = NV2

CPE - Groove
Wireless Mode = Station Bridge
Wireless Protocol = Any

I’ve never done such a thing, but my understanding is that you need a RouterOS box with at least two radios to achieve this. You put each in a separate bridge, with separate IP schemes, then set up routing between the subnets.

2 radios would be ideal.
You can get away with 1 and a slave interface but that would hamper throughput ( unless that’s not an issue).

One radio should work. (There is a button “setup repeater” that will create the virtual wifi interface as station-bridge or station-pseudo-bridge or WDS … , and add the AP, and bind all to a bridge)
see : https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/Wireless#Repeater )

Essential is that interfaces are connected to the bridge to create one L2 network.
Wireless interface master and virtual do share the wifi settings of the master !!!

Advanced mode:

Could also be done manually. (And then even tricked in AP mode as master interface and station as virtual interface (Works only if the frequnecy of the other MT is fixed))
However remember that the master interface defines the wifi parameters, and I see the NV2 as a potential problem here. The MT’s will handle this, but client devices cannot connect.
The Groove (station) will follow the NV2 of the Omnitik (AP) ! The second use of the Groove wifi radio as virtual interface cannot be configured in NV2, and even if it can, the client will not be able to connect.
