Turn the hAP ax2 in a wireless switch?

RouterOS General

Weird question, but is it possible to turn the hAP ax2 into a basic wireless switch?

Special application here, but I want to take one hAP ax2, and turn it into an AP, and then take a second hAP ax2, and turn that into a client with a bridge for the 4 ports on the back. First one is going to give out DHCP address, while the second one just accepts plugs for devices, which gets IPs based on the first one.

Any suggestions would be good.

Thanks

As far as I know this is not possible currently using the WifiWave2 driver on the hAP ax2 - there is no ap-bridge mode. See http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/ax2-in-ap-mode-and-bridge-in-client/165009/5

On my hAP ac2 with wired connection to a hAP ax3, it was as simple as:

/interface bridge add name=bridge1
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 interface=all
/ip dhcp-client add interface=bridge1
/system identity set name=MyAP

…and then configure wifi with your SSID and setting mode ap-bridge.
