Basic configuration - non MT Wifi AP

Sun Jul 04, 2021 5:49 pm

I am trying to setup the network and have all kinds of minor issues that I will get back to, but I am confused about the Wifi.

I have a very good Asus Wifi Router that is set as an AP. it is secured and updated, not changing it just yet, does any of the MT Router OS Wifi setting apply to that in any way shape or form? It is connected via the switch and on the same lan as everything else is currently intended to be.

The Wifi section of this should be irrelevant: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Quick+Set since there is nothing to set, all is already configured.

Oh okay so you dont have a guest wifi etc......
No the wifi settings on the MT have nothing to do with the AP.
The only relationship would be which frequencies are used so as not to conflict

You should not even have any WIFi settings in your mikrotik devices, since they don't have any wireless modules inside.

Thanks Normis, that too, I assumed the OP has an MT with wifi radio on board, otherwise the question becomes moot.

Yes I noted that after reading your post, but one can get caught by making such assumptions.
Reasonable guess though!
For example take my signa, I have not heard or seen Sob for a long time and am worried a tad and
would feel like bad karma to remove the name. :-(
