Use Cloud switch as Wifi point

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi,

I would use a old Cloud Switch Series as wifi point. I had connected that Cloud Switch Series to a Router Mikrotik. What config should I use on Cloud Switch Series to use it as wifi? default route gateway to main Router Mikrotik on port where I connected both routers?

Scheme:

ONT - Main Router Mikrotik - Cloud Switch Series (wifi)

Thanks

If you just want to extend your wired subnet to wireless, then bridge ethernet with wireless and that’s it, you don’t even need any IP address or anything (but you’ll probably want one for administration).

If you want wireless to use different subnet, then keeps ethernet(s) and wireless separate. Assign IP address from current LAN range to ethernet and add defaut route via main router. Then pick different subnet for wireless, assign one of its addresses to wireless interface, set up DHCP server, add any firewall rules you need and you’re done.

Thanks Sob, but I can’t do it.

I assigned IP to Mikrotik Cloud Switch Series (same subnet than main router), after I created on Mikrotik Cloud Switch Series a new range for wireless and it assigned me IP (another range) but I can’t navigate.
I am forgetting any rule or route I think.

BTW, I assigned IP same range to both routers but I can’t do ping to Mikrotik Cloud Switch Series from main router (being same subnet)

I should say that there are a switch in middle. I explain:

ONT - Main Router Mikrotik - Switch - Mikrotik Router Cloud Series.

I am connecting Router Cloud Series to a port switch and I assigned IP from same subnet. With ethernet on Router Cloud Series I get IP and I can navigate, with Wireless no (another range)

Thanks.

If you have different subnet for wireless, you need to add route to it on main router:

/ip route add
dst-address=<wireless subnet> gateway=<IP address of CRS>
