ROS Version: 6.27
License Level: 5
I have a small distribution system I am working on which has a total of 5 links.
They are all configured identically short of the fact that all links beyond the main utilize the IP of the primary link's DNS (DNS should have nothing to do with this issue however)...
Utilizing: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Wireless_WDS_Mesh
All Link's are configured as:
AP Bridge
Same Frequency: 2412
Channel Width: 20Mhz
Same SSID: PFRP
Same Security Profile
2Ghz B/G
WDS Mode: Dynamic Mesh
Mesh: Mesh-Interface
Mesh Port: wlan1
I have this identical configuration in other sites and they work flawlessly.
I have configured a DHCP server on the primary link to hand IP's to all other link's wireless interfaces VIA the Mesh-Interface.
The first 3 links after configuration acquired their wireless adapter IP's successfully and each device has full connectivity to the world and to other connected devices.
The last 2 links for some reason WILL NOT acquire an IP address!
To verify connectivity I can place the 2 problem routers into either "station" OR "station bridge" and they successfully connect to their neighbors, acquire a WLAN IP and gain full communications to the world and to other devices within the network.
On each router I have the following Access & Connect Rules; Connect or Access rules are disabled or deleted which would otherwise possibly create some form of connection to or access issues TO themselves.
In the Access Rules... I have tried "interface=wlan1" && "interface=all" with identical outcome.

UPDATE: Today more disconnections occurred on links which were connecting trouble-free, I ran a scan of the frequencies and 2412Mhz is clean.
Exports from 4 of the 5 links
Links 2 & 5 each display the identical situation: WLAN DHCP is always searching and never acquires, the Mesh interface is in a searching state continually alike. Link 4 began disconnecting today alike.
