Mikrotik SXT Lite2 as a hotspot?

Hello.
There is a four-story building, on each floor of which you need to organize WiFi. The company purchased Mikrotik SXT Lite2 (I did not advise)). After googling and reading articles, I didn’t really understand - can these devices be used as a regular access point (without a base station), so that clients can connect to it, or is it only for point-to-point (bridge) connections?
Thank you.

pay attention to the license, there it is Level 3, and you need 4

You can, the problem is that the SXT has a narrowly directional antenna.
And in order to cover an ordinary room with it, you need two such devices installed near the same wall (we get 120 degrees, which is basically ok) or 6 (!) To make a circular "light" of the signal of one such assembly in the center of a large room.
Well, in general, it is rather weak and profile. Better to use something else.

It supports the usual WiFi b/g/n standards, but the radiation pattern is 60 degrees.

Yes, it's possible. But this is a directional antenna. Look for review videos on youtube, there came across instructions on how to increase the angle of the signal.

I forgot to attach the network diagram (sorry for the quality, sculpted in haste):
oia , I'll try to set it up using your link, but it seems again not quite what I need.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
