So i am totally new to networking; just trying to learn the basics with that being side the place where i spent allot of time has a network switch i.e Fiber ISP the modem is directly connected to the switch (Cisco 3850) and my pc is hardwired from pc ethernet jack to the switch.

what i am trying to achieve is wireless so that my pc connected to the internet wirelessly using map lite instead of hardwire can someone please help me to achieve this correctly

I am not an expert, but you should first detect what is in charge of releasing the IP for your network (probably the ISP modem). Then you can configure mAP lite, probably as a Bridge AP, using quick configure. My network is almost the same as yours, and that’s what I did.

Be careful with quickset.

Use once on a non- configured device ( or again after clean reset) and then never touch it again.
It is known not to work nicely with a device where other config is done using winbox.

Not for the 6.44.3 version, no

Everything bridged, DHCP on bridge.
Skip the hotspot part of that setup, makes no sense there.

Start with reset. No config, keep user.
Then paste.
