I’ve used Mikrotik for routing/switching for some time but I’ve never worked with the wireless. I started playing with a hAP and got quite confused - especially with CAPS.
I’ve got an application where I need a wireless adapter. To be clear - an existing dedicated function product has a wired ethernet connection that need to connect to via WiFi. How do I program the routerboard to act as a Wi-Fi client and provide simple bridging to the wired ports accordingly?
For such functions you should not look at CAPS.
That is only required when you want to setup a multi-AP WiFi network (e.g. covering a large house or a company) and want central management of the parameters.
So forget about CAPSman and just configure your hAP directly via the wireless menu.
To do what you want, just use quickset to setup the device as CPE and select bridge mode. In the wireless menu you can scan the network and connect it.
Never used this function before - didn’t know about it! Thank you!
