Have you ever wondered how to connect your MikroTik router to a WiFi access point and serve the Internet via it? It's possible, and in this post, we'll show you how to do it step by step!

First, you'll need to make sure your MikroTik router has a wireless interface. If it doesn't, you won't be able to connect it to a WiFi access point. Assuming you have a wireless interface, here are the steps to connect your MikroTik router to a WiFi access point:

1. Open the Winbox utility on your computer and connect to your MikroTik router.
2. Click on the "Wireless" tab in the left-hand menu.
3. Click the "Scan" button to scan for available WiFi networks.
4. Select the WiFi network you want to connect to and click the "Connect" button.
5. Enter the password for the WiFi network and click "OK".
6. Your MikroTik router should now be connected to the WiFi access point!

Now that your MikroTik router is connected to the WiFi access point, you can start serving the Internet via it. Here are the steps to set up your MikroTik router to do so:

1. Click on the "IP" tab in the left-hand menu and select "DHCP Client".
2. Click the "Add new" button to add a new DHCP client.
3. Enter the necessary information for the DHCP client: interface (set it to your wireless interface), use peer DNS (set it to "yes"), default route (set it to "yes"), and name (set it to something you'll recognize).
4. Click "OK" to save your changes.
5. Your MikroTik router should now be serving the Internet via the WiFi access point!

That's it! You should now have successfully connected your MikroTik router to a WiFi access point and be serving the Internet via it. If you run into any issues or have any questions, feel free to contact us for assistance.
