I have existing network on 192.168.0.1 subnet, now I bought Mikrotik hap Lite which I want to use to extend existing network, and be able to connect clients on Mikrotik both wired (printer) and wirelles ( smartphone, notebook ) but all devices must see each other. First modem/router will be used as DHCP server and its address is 192.168.0.1. How should I configure Mikrotik to achieve mentioned behavior?

Just setup hap Lite
to use a subnet of your 192.168.0.0
/255.255.255.0
(?) primary network and connect hap Lite
WAN to your primary router
LAN.
If you prefer DHCP usage:
- Setup
hap Lite
WAN port to get IP address from DHCP. - Bind a
hap Lite
WAN IP address with its MAC address on yourprimary router
DHCP configuration. - Choose
hap Lite
subnet from outside of DHCP range. - Add route to your
primary router
to push network traffic tohap Lite
LAN subnet troughhap Lite
WAN IP.
If you prefer static addressing:
- Setup
hap Lite
WAN port to unique IP address in yourprimary router
LAN. - Choose
hap Lite
subnet as unique IP range in yourprimary router
LAN. - Add route to your
primary router
to push network traffic tohap Lite
LAN subnet troughhap Lite
WAN IP.
You can mix:
- Static
hap Lite
WAN port IP address. - DHCP on
hap Lite
LAN.
