Wireless Station mode problem

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

I have a customer who has UNIFI AP’s and a Mikrotik Router. He has a camera in a remote part of his house that isn’t WIFI and I’m trying to get it on the network.

I figured I could just use a hAP to make a wireless bridge to get the camera on the network, but I can’t seem to make it work. I set the wireless to station mode and have the connection established to the UNIFI AP. Bridged eth1 to wlan1 and put a DHCP client on the bridge interface.

The DHCP client gets an IP but anything plugged into eth1 will not. Also, I can’t ping the hAP from the router or vice versa.

I have read that you can’t simply make a station and put it in a bridge. Is there away to make this work with the hAP or should I look else where?

Wifi standard is missing bridging function. Bridging over wifi is proprietary. Read the manual about different modes and try station bridge or pseudobridge.

So I found a work around. Its probably not the cleanest, but it works.

wlan station
DHCP Client on wlan
EoIP connection to Mikrotik router
Bridged ethers to EoIP.

Yes, this is possible way.
