Why should the Wlan interface be added to Bridge (Mikrotik)?

Question

Computer networks

Tell me why the Wlan interface on the microt does not work without a bridge? I do not want to tie it to any network. I want to have my own dhtsp in a separate vlane, but for some reason it doesn’t work ...

Answer 1

Works without a bridge. It is only necessary to make a separate address pool for it, a separate DHCP and a separate rule in the firewall for NAT.
It's generally a good idea not to include a Wlan interface in the bridge.
