Re: hAP ax²: clients connection stability issue

It should be "configuration.ssid" and "datapath.client-isolation=yes" instead.

The abbreviation is standard, emitted by RouterOS, not something the user did. You can see an example of it here, in MT's own docs.

Yes, and the docs tell you that it repeats that lookup each time it tries to sync with SNTP on ROS v6 when you set it via server-dns-names. This is what allows it to be evergreen; as public NTP servers come and go, the round-robin results of a DNS lookup on that name change accordingly.

Re: doh server connection error network is unreachable over DNS 1.1.1.1

I'm glad to know it's not just me. I ended up temporarily turning off the "Verify DoH certificate" option, which let me connect to https://security.cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query — corresponding to 1.1.1.2, not the unfiltered 1.1.1.1 service — then use my browser's certificate inspection too...
