How do you configure a MikroTik wireless interface to operate as an access point with WPA2-PSK security?

• A. Mode=station-wds; enable WEP
• B. Mode=ap-bridge; create a security-profile with wpa2-pre-shared-key; assign the profile to the wireless interface
• C. Mode=bridge; set WPA3
• D. Mode=ap-bridge; disable security

Answer: (B)

To have the MikroTik wireless interface act as an access point with WPA2-PSK, configure the radio in ap-bridge mode, which makes it behave as an AP and bridge traffic to the LAN. Then create a security profile that uses WPA2 with a pre-shared key (wpa2-pre-shared-key) and assign this profile to the wireless interface. This combination ensures the AP broadcasts to clients while requiring the WPA2 password for access. The other options either use a client mode, rely on outdated or insecure security (WEP), rely on a different role (like a general bridge without AP behavior), or leave the network open by disabling security, which does not meet the WPA2-PSK requirement.
