What is the command to configure a MikroTik wireless interface to connect as a client (station) to an AP named 'OfficeAP'?

• A. /interface wireless set [find default-name=wlan1] mode=station ssid=OfficeAP
• B. /interface wireless set [find default-name=wlan1] mode=ap ssid=OfficeAP
• C. /interface wireless set [find default-name=wlan1] mode=station ssid=OfficeAP security-profile=office
• D. /interface wireless set [find default-name=wlan1] mode=station ssid=OfficeAP connect-to=OfficeAP

Answer: (A)

To connect as a client, the wireless interface must be set to station mode and told which AP to join by its SSID. The command targets the interface named wlan1, switches it to station mode, and assigns the AP’s name as the SSID to connect to. This combination directs the device to operate as a client and attempt to authenticate with the AP named OfficeAP. Using a different mode would make the device act as an access point itself, not a client, so it wouldn’t connect to OfficeAP. Adding a security-profile is optional if the AP requires specific security settings, but it isn’t needed for the basic connection. The connect-to parameter isn’t used for a standard station connection in this context.
