I think I might have bought an SXTsq Lite2 by a mistake. I need 2.4GHz to penetrate a thick glass wall, and with its high gain antenna it seemed perfect. I want to use this as an indoor access point through a glass wall for a few devices (minimum 2, perhaps 3 or 4) on the outside. 2-3 meters from the wall.
After some reading, it seems it can’t be set up as a access point(?).
I have my RB2011 running caps-man for a bunch of cAP ac, and would love if the SXTsq Lite2 can be managed the same way. But even if I need to manually configure it, it’s ok. But it is possible to connect multiple clients on the SXTsq Lite2?
It is possible if you buy and upgrade with license 4!
I hoped I wouldn’t have to. That puts the price to a whole other level, and I could have bought something else.
I haven’t opened it yet, and we have 14 days return policy.
Could it be possible to at least connect one client directly to it (an iPad)?

Not really. With license level 3 it can only be run in “bridge” mode[*] … which is Mikrotik’s proprietary extension of 802.11 standard and works in 4-address mode … 802.11 stations/clients work in 3-address mode which is not compatible.
[*] … or any of station modes (there are multiple). You’d need “ap” mode (or “ap-bridge” mode).
