Mikrotik Wireless Access Points

cAP XL ac

While it appears this is a very capable Wireless Access Point, this AP comes from the factory configured as a router, with firewall and everything! Worse, it appears there is no “Simple AP” choice in QuickSet.

Multi-AP Installations

For multi-access-point installations, you should learn and use CAPSMAN.

You must power the AP with ether1 (Interent) and you must program it via wireless or ether2.

Home AP

For a simple home AP, you can default the programming (factory reset) and select No Default Configuration, then modify and apply this simple script.

/interface bridge
add name=LAN
/interface wireless security-profiles
set [ find default=yes ] supplicant-identity=MikroTik
add authentication-types=wpa2-psk mode=dynamic-keys name=Secure supplicant-identity="" wpa2-pre-shared-key=<YourWiFiPassword>
/interface wireless
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] band=2ghz-b/g/n country="united states" disabled=no mode=ap-bridge security-profile=Secure ssid=Cooper-2GHz
set [ find default-name=wlan2 ] band=5ghz-a/n/ac channel-width=20/40/80mhz-XXXX disabled=no mode=ap-bridge security-profile=Secure ssid=Cooper-5GHz
/ip hotspot profile

/interface bridge port
