What bridged wireless mode should be used if both the AP and the station are MikroTiks?

• A. AP
• B. Station-Bridge
• C. Bridge
• D. WDS

Answer: (B)

When you want to connect two MikroTik devices over a wireless link and keep them on the same Layer 2 network, you bridge the wireless link into the local bridge so devices on both sides share the same broadcast domain. Using the Station-Bridge mode on the client side makes the wireless connection act as a transparent bridge port, effectively joining the Ethernet side of the station to the wireless link as part of the same bridge.

This is the best choice because it provides a simple, transparent L2 bridge between the AP and the station when both ends are MikroTik devices. The AP side handles the wireless AP role, while the station side in Station-Bridge mode bridges the wireless link with the local network. Other options aren’t as suitable in this scenario: AP mode would make the device function as an access point rather than a client bridging the network; a plain Bridge setting isn’t a wireless mode, and WDS is more complex and specialized for multi-point or nontransparent bridging, adding extra configuration and potential compatibility considerations.
