cAP AC setup questions

Mon Jan 14, 2019 1:24 am

I'm fairly new to Mikrotik devices so I am unfamiliar with manual configuration. I've used winbox + quick set and its been relatively easy so far for simple setups.

Currently, I have an ER-lite3 as my main router / DHCP server. Some Ubiquiti AP's. Then I got 3 cAP AP's to setup.

I'd like to try and setup the cAP units so that they use the DHCP from the erlite.
I'd plan to only have 1 of the cAP units hard wired into the network in a central location; with the other two cAP completely wireless as range extenders.

I think I will need to do bridge mode for the DHCP to work. For the wireless AP's, do I need to use a WDS setup?

Should I follow the guide below?

Some additional questions:
Can CAPsMAN handle the above scenario?
Is there a recommended device to use as a CAPsMAN for small networks?
