Hi guys, I'm new in the forum and I'm trying to make a configuration under my private network, I'm also new with mikrotik and I've researched a lot regarding how to configure the following:

ISP > Mikrotik Router > Tp-Link (Wifi) > Clients

I've reached the first part of the configuration:

ISP > Mikrotik Router it's correctly working (I've tested with terminal making a ping, and also work in the laptop)

The problem is that I cannot make it work with the TP-Link router, I had no luck configuring mikrotik to work with the tp-link router, my configuration for that is something like:

1) I've designated a port to connect from mikrotik to tp-link (port 4).
2) I've created a VLAN for that port
3) I've added an address for that VLAN
4) I've added a DHCP configuration for that VLAN too

I've used port 5 to management (connecting the laptop) (works fine)
I've used port 4 to output traffic from internet to the tp-link router (no success)
I've configured port 1 as WAN1 to get Internet from my ISP (works fine)
I've ports 2 and 3 without any configuration

My ISP IP is: 192.168.10.1 (WAN - port 1)
My IP for management is 192.168.99.1/24 (port 5)
For the port 4 to I had configured the following ip 192.168.11.1 this is the ip for port 4 VLAN

I'dont know if I need to change the configuration in the tp-link to use it as an Access Point, the thing is that I've also a bridge between that Tp-link router and another one and I don't want to loose that configuration.

Any ideas? will be kind appreciated,
Thanks!

Does the TP Link have to be a router? Why not just use it as a switch/access point??
(I suppose if you want to use vlans on tplink it may not work in its access point mode??)

Wouldn't everything coming into the port the tp-link is attached to have the ability to be tagged?

I’m having the same exact problem. Did you happen to figure it out? If so, what did you do to fix the problem?

Thanks!!

Did you want to have the TPlink act as a router or simply access point/switch?
The TPLINK does not do vlans (by that I mean it cannot read vlan tags).

Hi Guys, I've finally did it long time ago, now I've a rb4011 wireless and I've managed to do it configuring the following:

1) I've created a vlan with a specific IP for the Ac1750 wifi router (192.168.xx.xx)
2) I've added as interface port 4 on mikrotik router (that connects via ether4 cable to the tp-link router)
3) I've created a new bridge let's say "bridge-tp-link"
4) I've added a new bridge port > Interface: "vlanXX" and bridge:" bridge-tp-link"
5) Finally I've added some mange rules to make it work with my configuration (I've two ISP configured)

Hope that helps someone trying to do the same

Did you finally manage with the Mikrotik RB750Gr3 router?

I am facing the same issue.
