Two Routers together

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hello Mikrotik geniuses,

I have two hAP lite routers and I want to do the following:

  • Use the WLAN on the first one to receive a wireless signal
  • Connect R1 to R2 and then provide wired and wireless internet with my own network

Can someone please tell me how/settings I would need to set in the first router and the second router to accomplish this.

Thank you in advance!

Even it is not smart to use omni antenna as static client normally, the approach would be: r1 set as station bridge and bridge ethernets with wifi. Scan for Ap and connect. R2 to set like home Ap and use the wan port to join with one of ports of r1. Take care to use non overlapping network address on your lan of r2 with addresses of outer network and not to overlap the wifi frequencies of r1 and r2. The rest depends on local conditions and your other needs.

Ok, thanks I will try to make this work!

Any chance you can provide a little more detailed step by step on how to accomplish this, it would very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Any way to use the Quick setting such as PTP Bridge or WISP AP to accomplish. Sorry if these are silly questions but I am very new to Mikrotik

What particular problem do you encounter actually that you need to help with?

This is the first part I’m unsure about how to do correctly: “r1 set as station bridge and bridge ethernets with wifi. Scan for Ap and connect”

Ok. First remove all config and do not touch quickset. Then create a bridge and put all interfaces into it. Then set the station bridge mode to wifi, let it search the Ap and press connect. If necessary, set the default security profile values. No more things are necessary. If you have connection problems, see the log.

Hello Jarda,

I removed the bridge that was preconfigured and now I have locked myself out of the router can you help?

Good. You can use mac connection always so you do not need any settings to get in.

I created a bridge - set the wifi adapter it and the main interfaces. Now I’m locked out…

I can find the MAC address of the wlan under the neighbors tab in Winbox but when I try to connect it says Error: could not connect to (and shows the MAC address)

Can someone help :frowning:

Anyone know how to factory reset a hAP lite? There is only a single button on the back. I have unplugged, pressed the button down, plugged power back in and help the button down for 5 seconds… Doesn’t work. I’ve also tried 10 secs and 15secs and I’ve done this about 30 times and nothing works… Any ideas

Connect the client device by only one port to your computer having all other ports unconnected. Then search for Ap by wlan of this device and make the connection to it. If does not work, see the log on both sides what it states about the connection tryout and its result. You would need to correct some wifi settings to match.
