Hi everybody!
Sorry, I'm completely new to networks and even struggle with the search, as I don't know what the name is for what I'm trying to do.
But I belive it must be quite a simple task, so maybe someone here is willing to help me.
Situation:
I'm running a hAP lite ass WLAN Access Point, have set up different WLAN subnets in the router OS, all working fine.
Now I want to connect an ethernet device (IKEA Tradfri Gateway) to the router.
The device must be in the same network as one of my WLANs so that the device can be "found" by the smartphone app that is connected to that WLAN.
How do I achieve that?
(And: is it called something like a "LAN/WLAN BRIDGE" ? Or whats the right term??)
Thanks a lot!

Really nobody out there who could help?
Re: hAP Lite: How to connect ethernet/LAN device to WLAN subnet?
It will involve setting up a bridge, but I don't use any bridges in my routers, so I can't help you much. The Ethernet port and the WLAN need to be in a bridge, but that's about my limit on bridges.
Re: hAP Lite: How to connect ethernet/LAN device to WLAN subnet?
Yes create a bridge.
Put the wlan on the bridge and the physical port on the hap lite on the bridge.
How does the lan device supposed go get dhcp etc. (wehre does it get it now??)
You really need to draw a network diagram and post your config
/export hide-sensitive file=anynameyouwish
Put the wlan on the bridge and the physical port on the hap lite on the bridge.

Thanks to both of you.Yes create a bridge.

Especially for for the "hide-sensitive". I didnt know that.. :-)))
After knowing that it must be done with a Bridge, I was able to focus on what I did wrong when I tried to set up the bridge before.
So here is my solution:
1. Create the Bridge
2. Plug the two Ports (ethernet2 and WLAN) into that bridge
3. Set IP Adress(es) for the Network/Subnet
4. Create IP Pool for the Subnet
5. Run DHCP Server on the Bridge (which is the most important part I did wrong firts, so the "dumb" device did not get its IP correctly)
Here's my config, maybe helpfull for anybody else:
