mAP Lite cap configuration

Tue Jun 22, 2021 1:16 pm

Hello there!
I connected mikrotik to my router wifi and everything is working fine. I have a question though, is there possible for the device connected to mikrotik by LAN to get ip addres from my main router and be able to connect to this device from computer connceted to main router?

In short: no.

What you want is called "wireless bridge", which transparently connects two wired "islands" into a homogenous network. Wireless standard (802.11) doesn't allow for enough transparency, you can read more about the reasons and possible work-arounds in this article.
