Hello all,

I just bought the hAP ax lite to use as an access point, I have an LTE modem/router from Huawei.
I managed to upgrade routerOS to the latest stable version (7.18.2) with no default configs using netinstall and connect with the MAC address using Winbox.
I'm trying to setup the bridge and wifi following this tutorial: https://youtu.be/2WGQ7Vc8d4o?si=X8enF6XOzJxzWeEf

How should I configure my router to work with the hAP ax, the tutorial only talks about the ap side of things?
Also when I try to add the ethernet and wifi interfaces to the new bridge I created, there are no wifi interfaces available and I can't create one either (under General in wifi interface there is a dropdown called Master that needs to be populated but there are no items to choose from).

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Assuming one flat network...........
First create a safe place to config the router, an off bridge port ( remove from /interface bridge ports) and then you will be able to change the main IP structure of the haplite without issue to that of the upstream router without locking yourself out. After ensuring the bits below of ether4 are added you should be able to plug your laptop into ether4, and change ipv4 settings to 192.168.77.2 and gain access via winbox.......

Then, give your Access point a static IP address on the router and use ether1 to connect to the router.
192.168.1.XX

/interface bridge
add name=bridge
/interface ethernet
set [ find default-name=ether4 ] name=OffBridge4
/interface list
add name=TRUSTED
/interface wifi
{ WIFI as required }
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge interface=ether1
add bridge=bridge interface=ether2
add bridge=bridge interface=ether3
add bridge=bridge interface=wifi1
add bridge=bridge interface=wifi2
/ip neighbor discovery-settings
set discover-interface-list=TRUSTED
/interface list member
add interface=bridge list=TRUSTED
add interface=OffBridge4 list=TRUSTED
/ipv6 settings
set disable-ipv6=yes
/ip address
add address=192.168.1.xx/24 interface=bridge network=192.168.1.0
add address=192.168.77.1/30 interface=OffBridge4 network=192.168.77.0
/ip dns
set servers=192.168.1.1
/ip route
add disabled=no dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=192.168.1.1 routing-table=main
/system ntp client
set enabled=yes
system ntp client servers
add address=192.168.1.1
/tool mac-server
set allowed-interface-list=none
/tool mac-server mac-winbox
set allowed-interface-list=TRUSTED

The Ax lite has only one radio (at 2.4 Ghz), so there will be only the wifi1 interface.

It has two chains, and thus thought the default would include wifi1 andw ifi2 so at least the op could provide coverage for two freqs.....oh well.

Thanks for the replies. I did manage to activate the wifi interface and set a MAC addess+IP binding in the Huawei router.
Apparently the RouterOS version I upgraded to doesn't come with the wireless drivers, so I had to download the 'wifi-qcom' package and upload it with Netinstall. At least that's what the Mikrotik chatbot said and it seems to be the solution.

Nope.
Only 2.4Ghz radio so only wifi1. 2 chains does not mean 2 radios.

100% sure it is a result from a non-conventional way you upgraded before.
Out of the box wifi-qcom is included.
If you upgrade through terminal or winbox, it will be upgraded as well.

However, if you use netinstall with only ROS package, like you mentioned, then wifi-qcom doesn't get included. You need to do that yourself then.
Or netinstall using both ROS package and wifi-qcom in one sweep.

Reminds me to ask you, why do they even state the number of chains, its like useless marketing then.

Starting 802.11n multiple chains can be used on the same radio.
Look at it as parallel connections.
More chains = more throughput.

Using wider bandwidth will also yield more throughput (if air spectrum is not too polluted).

Block diagram clearly shows those chains.
