Which bridging mode would you choose when both devices in the link are MikroTik units to ensure proper bridging?

• A. station-bridge
• B. Pseudo-bridge
• C. Bridge
• D. AP

Answer: (A)

When you want to extend a LAN across a wireless link between two MikroTik devices, the wireless interface should participate in a transparent bridge. station-bridge does exactly that: the device acts as a station on the other end but also attaches its wireless interface to the bridge, so Ethernet frames—including MAC learning, broadcasts, and ARP—are forwarded across the wireless link. This creates a true point-to-point bridge between the two units.

Other modes aren’t ideal for this back-to-back bridging scenario. AP mode is intended for serving wireless clients, not for linking two routers into one L2 domain. Pseudo-bridge is a specialized option with limitations and isn’t the standard choice for a straightforward two-device bridge. A generic Bridge setting isn’t a wireless mode and won’t reliably establish a clean, transparent bridge over the air.
