Mikrotik hAP lite As Wifi Extender with different SSID and WPA

ethos · Fri Jun 01, 2018 4:44 pm

Hi to all, I've been puzzling hours now to setup a mikrotik that i bought today. I'd like to ask if it is even possible to do what i want to do. I want to connect my mikrotik hAP lite to my Router wirelessly and then make mikrotik repeat the router with different ssid and passphrase. I've been reading all over the internet, watched videos and i can't get it to work. I'm a newbie in networking and RooterOS seems to be very advanced to play with. I tried QuickSet but i get to a point that i can see the mikrotiks SSID extending my router but when i try to connect i get Failed to Retrieve IP Address. Did some changes and now i manage to connect to mikrotik but it says there is no internet connection. It driving me nuts. I'm trying different configurations for hours now and i come to a point that i want to return it back but i said to give it a last shot with your help here. Can you help me? Thanks in advance..

Show your configuration. Perhaps the problem occurs in the lack of NAT addressing from DHCP to the gateway address or in the route configuration.

Thanks for replying. I've messed up my settings trying to figure out how to get to my desired results. I don't know what i'm doing and i'm desperately trying to apply different solutions i read from the internet to fix my problem. Anyway here is my settings now. I can see Mikrotik new SSID labeled as "Extender" i do connect but i still don't have internet access. I don't have internet access via Ethernet too. In winbox though i have internet and i can download updates.

First: You must change password for your WiFi, because he is compromissed (k**************3)

If you not must - don't use wpa and tkip. Use wpa2 and aes-ccm
Second: Reconfigure bridge1 interface - remove wlan1 interface.
Third: Run DHCP Server (and DHCP pool) for bridge1 interface and NAT all range to the wlan1's address.

It's such tips quickly.

ok i've managed to setup it and i got it working. my Router is on 192.168.1.1 and my mikrotik now extends the wifi with different SSID name and password with an ip address of 192.168.0.1 and got interet. Now i run into another problem and i dont know what to do. I've connected my dvr on mikrotik and i want to access if from outside of the network. Problem is i dsrnat my wan ip to dvr's ip in mikrotik but i can only access it from inside the lan network. Not outside. Do i have to port forward from my Main router something ? And if yes then what will be that? Thanks.
