The goal of using the mapLite is to have a portable, local only network (at least for now). It will serve devices like a picow which hosts a tiny website to control, for example, a string of neopixels.
currently I can see all wireless devices but I cannot yet connect to the test case which is 192.1.68.88.75.
I have tried several forum solutions. Once I was able to see the webpage but could not control it - that was after changing things but I did not write down each change. Then I tried to follow the course offered on setting up a wireless Mikrotik router, the attempt is below. Again, I can see all wireless devices connected but cannot access or see the webpage.

This config is a mess right now.

This entry is not needed as you already have dhcp_pool0 that is used by DHCP server.
Why did you disabled ether1 here ?
This is wrong
WLAN interface is bridge member and bridge have IP address assigned already here:
Are you trying to use this device as AP only ? If you do then this topic is for you: viewtopic.php?t=182276

Thank you for the input.
This attempt was just follwing all the steps on my RB2011 Router with the exception of the Wireless addition and the fact that the mapLite is standalone from all networks and No Internet.
I can see all wireless leases. On the Quick Set the Static picow shows up as well. However, I still cannot connect to it. Webpage timed out. Obviously, I am missing something.

Did you try to connect with some other device ? Avoid setting something up in quickset and then changing configuration in some other menu.

That could lead to unstable operation of your AP.

You can always try to reset to default configuration and try to connect it again.

Maybe that was a problem. When i started with NO default configuration, i noticed that QuickSet did not have DHCP Server checked, so i checked it.
So, Once the router is set up without default and QuickSet, then it is a bad idea to change anything using QuickSet after that?? Correct?

Correct.
Use Quickset after starting from default, never after making manual modifications.
Or restart from default.

Read tutorial i posted and avoid quickset, that way you will learn something and I presume you want to learn about ROS ?

Yes, very interested. I continue to watch YouTube and and have studied many tutorials. I never picked up on the fact that the two setups worked together. After setting up manually the QuikSet did not show the manual settings. That is what confused me. I thought it would know about my settings.

Yea, quickset is a quite a weird feature in ROS.

Thank everyone for the help. Fortunately, I saved a backup just before clicking on Quick Set. With that backup Pinging works and the tiny PicoW webserver displays. However, there seems to be a timing or handshaking issue. When I click on one webserver tab the function is accomplished and then the webserver hangs. This is not an issue on another duplicate PicoW webserver connected to my home network. More homework. But I am happy to get this far.

This other issue may be server problem ?

I will double check the PicoW code.
I looked at the Log captured on WinBox and found the following. Interference could also be an issue. I will find a more secluded spot and try.
The Log reported "extensive data loss" and when I looked it up it said:

Possible causes of extensive data loss in Mikrotik include:
• Weak signal
• Remote device turned off
• Strong interference
• RF related issue that makes communication impossible
• Interference by another device that is too close to the antenna

Try to scan area and select channel with least amount of interference.
