Re: QuickSet uses 0.0.0.0 for DHCP server network

To catch up your laundry machine sample. It's like buying a new washing machine that has a "quick-wash" program. You use it, but after the machine finished, you realize your clothes weren't rinsed. Then someone tells you, "Of course! This model isn't meant to use the quick-wash functi...

Nowhere quickset is being mentioned.
This is Mikrotik speak. Every time you do something that leads to instability or some obscur behaviour, you report it on the forum and sometimes someone from Mikrotik staff answers like this: "we're not responsible for your misconfiguration"

Re: DNS over HTTPS

Why does ROS still use HTTP/1 for DoH queries?
Are there any plans to implement HTTP/2 support?
All modern DNS server software (BIND9, Unbound, Dnsdist) use HTTP/2 and cannot handle ROS queries.
Are you sure, how you analyzed that?

I agree. Let's collect the affected client chipsets here. Once there is a larger list collected: Mikrotik can invest ~20$ for that wireless card that appear most frequent in that list. Put this card into some old notebook and start debugging happily. Hopefully resulting in a fix soon.
