Thanks for the tip! Glad it works ;)

One addition: I set a free static IP (outside the pool of my DHCP) in IP->Addresses. Now, I can reach the hap ax² with its IP as well (important for WebFig).

Regards, Klaus

The IP address shows as 169.254 which I believe is the Ethernet adapter.

Also, the WiFi works from a PC. Maybe the iPhone can’t handle it…

Still, if anybody can give tips on how to use the remote WiFi on iPhone, I’d appreciate it.

It mostly worked. I did the opposite sequence. ISP router connects to router A via WiFi and A to B (same Microtik model) via cable so B can have WiFi. So part 2 for the first router, part 1 for the second.

All cable ports on A and B work. They get IPs from the ISP router. WiFi A is taken to talk to the ISP router. But WiFi B doesn’t work. It is not on the same network and gets weird IP addresses as per my iPhone. Not starting with 192.168, but 162.254 or so. I can’t connect.

I can do my project with your article, but it would be the cherry on top if router B could provide WiFi like an extender. It will be out of range of the ISP router, which is why I do all this.

Thanks for any tips or links that could help and are understandable for a layperson.

Hi, check this document:

https://mum.mikrotik.com/presentations/ZA20/presentation_7324_1581310668.pdf

There you’ll find explanation what BFD is.

In newer models under BGP I see there’s a column “Use BFD”, so it’s likely integrated. Anyway, the point is you just need to disable routing, whichever protocol your device uses, no need to delete actual definitions.
