Wifi AP without WAN connection

Mon Jul 05, 2021 1:51 pm

Hello, I'd like to configure Mikrotik metal AC as standalone device without any WAN connection to internet. I need it to setup as simple wifi router with DHCP server so other devices can connect to this AP a communicate between each other.

I have two problems.

1. When I use quick setup and set it like Home AP. I set static IP address for AP and turn on DHCP server. Everything work unless the AP is connected via ethernet port to my PC. When I disconnect the cable from PC, LED's on AP turn off and stops transmitting SSID.

2. Second problem is that after I setup the Home AP I'm not able to connect by winbox or webfig interface. I try to type gateway address of router to browser and nothing happens.

How can I achieve this simple setup please?

Thank you
