How to set up mikrotik map lite for home network?

Question

Mikrotik

The story is long, but if you cut it to the core, then the situation is as follows.
I used to use a tplink router at home, with a gigabit mesh and ng wifi. One computer out of two is connected via a twisted pair cable - it is inconvenient to pull a cable to the second one, but in the end this is exactly what is planned. By air, clients are phones, a tablet, a TV and a receiver. Well, the second computer for now. The photo-video archive on the first computer is actively broadcast via the dlna-server to the TV, sometimes to the receiver (music). When the tp-link died, I thought hard about what to take in return and, as always, chose the biggest rake. Mikrotik 960 router (I don’t remember the letters now, if it’s not clear, I’ll add it later). There is no Wi-Fi in it, but we had a netgir access point. But the netgir began to fail in this configuration, and as a result, another mini-rake Mikrotik map lite was bought. Because it's cheap and everyone praises and I don’t need anything from her except Wi-Fi (although ideally I needed a dual-band one, so that at least on phones I could go to the 5 GHz band, otherwise the air is polluted by neighbors by 80-90%). In general, at the very least, a configured router worked in the 192.168.0.0/24 grid (WAN on eth1, computer 1 on eth2). In fact, I didn’t set anything up - I just changed the addresses, the password and set up ppoe to the provider). When connecting map light to eth3, she blinked merrily, and tk. by default, it has a subnet of 192.168.88.0, then I did not get access to it from the main computer. And winbox does not detect it in any way. However, it turned out that the phone is connected to it via Wi-Fi and you can go from its browser to the web interface for configuration. Hooray, I thought, and immediately changed the settings addresses on the quick config tab to my subgrid (I gave the point the address 1982.168.0.100) in order to configure everything else from the computer. And after that, the point was lost and was nowhere to be found. Several attempts to reset to factory settings, poking again - killed half a day for this, as a result I realized that you can’t get around the rake so easily (why this pancake quick config if the settings don’t work like that !?) and found a guide on the initial setup on the Mikrotik website. Wrinkling the brain and trying to understand the description of complex things in a non-native language spent the evening. As a result, the Internet via Wi-Fi works flawlessly, but for all devices connected via Wi-Fi, the local grid is not visible (a different subnet, because I was honestly afraid to change the range on Wi-Fi so as not to get a black box again without entering and exiting). It was possible to connect to the winbox, because. and assign an address to the lan part of the point. But it turns out that everything beyond the dot is in itself, but it is necessary that it be one subnet so that the TV has access to the dlna server on computer 1 and from computer 2 the shared folders on computer 1 should also be available. Access via lan to the point appeared when I saw in the winbox in the interface section the correspondence wan-eth1, lan-wlan. Those. the point "thinks" that the provider is connected to eth1, but it's not - there is a local network. I added a lan-eth1 match, as a result, oddly enough, access worked and the point received the address 192.168.0.3. Winbox and the browser find it at this address. You can work. But that's not it! You need to somehow specify the point so that both parts (wired and wireless) are on the same subnet and receive addresses from the router! But only clients, and the point itself must have static ones so as not to lose. But I have no idea how to do this - it's very difficult to organize everything there.

Answer 1

Then it’s easier for you to find a specialist who will come and set everything up. On the Internet, since you have
may not continue. You will not understand anything further, no matter who explains what. A waste of time for you and other users. Either give remote access to someone, freelancers will set it up for money, or invite a physically specialist. Or sell Mikrotik and buy ordinary household tlinks-Asus. Such is the harsh reality, comrade.
It won't work that way, absolutely. I repeat, either let a freelancer remotely into your network, or invite a specialist. It's not yours, otherwise I wouldn't have written a whole sheet of description.

Answer 2

Nothing complicated.
On the main router, you leave everything as it is.
On hap'e you kill configs out of harm's way and incl. don't use quick config. Then you kill all the rules of the firewall \ nata \ masquerade. You put all the ports in one bridge and without any wans, kill dhcp on it but leave the client's dhcp so that he gets an address for himself (optional item). Set up wifi.
At the output, hap will become just a switch that has a wifi, dhcp server on the main mikrotik.
PS In order to get through to the microt configs, it is not necessary that it has an IP address, you can just use winbox to get into the mac address.

Thanks, but I don't understand anything. I used network devices at the level of household user d-links and tp-links. Those. everything is simple there, but here it’s a complete Linux nightmare (fortunately, it’s not possible to configure it through cli, but it’s also there). To kill everything in my case, unequivocally briquet the device, tk. there is no deep understanding of what is tied to what and what it generally means. I need a specific instruction with a list, in which section which tab to poke, otherwise I will not understand.
And you have already given bad advice, tk. it took me half a day to at least see this point with a winbox! How can she connect via MAC when there is no way to select MAC ?? There is only the neighbor tab, where it gives out everything it has found, theoretically even without ip, but for some reason it does not find it - I wrote about it. I even tried to drive in MAC manually instead of ip - I didn’t find it. I will now follow your advice and after the first nailing the config (by the way, there were only a couple of default ones, and I added a couple more according to the manual and after that something stirred), remove them and that's it - start with a reset.
By the way, I tried to connect a point directly to the computer (with static ip in the settings) - I also didn’t reach any addresses with a browser or winbox. Only through Wi-Fi she clings after a hard reset.
