Thank you for your answers. I think I'll leave it as it is for now and set up VLANs in the future. Bridge works at OSI layer 2 (MAC addresses), IP firewall works at layers 3 and above (IP addresses, TCP/UDP ports and so on). Yes exactly, bridge operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model and that filters s...

Thank you for information. I started preparing to create VLAN. I began by restoring the default settings on the router. Then, I noticed the third option :-) QuickSet -> GuestWirelessNetwork option. After using it, I saw that the following rules were added: /interface bridge filter add action=drop ch...

I defined port forwarding as below add action=dst-nat chain=dstnat comment=PS5-TCP dst-address-list=WAN dst-port=987,8572,9295-9308 protocol=tcp to-addresses=192.168.81.108 Does this configuration mean that whatever comes to port 987 will go to address 192.168.81.108 ALWAYS on port 987 and e.g. what...

Ignoring why you want to expose a device to the internet with an IP, instead of opening only the necessary ports via NAT, you have not explained how the provider delivers you internet and how they should deliver the second IP to you. Thank you for the response and for moderating this thread. For no...

I recently started changing the configuration of my hAP ax3 router . I have two bridges set up: one standard and the other created specifically for a Guest WiFi network. While browsing the internet, I found a post where someone mentioned that having more than one bridge on a MikroTik router is not r...

I recently discovered that I can get more than one IP address from my provider. Because of this, I wanted to expose one of my devices directly to the internet. What do I need to do on my hAP ax3 router (with the default configuration for simplicity) is to keep ports ether2, ether3, ether4 and WiFi b...

Without seeing full config, hard to tell. Some might have some guesses but it is a lot more efficient with config available. I couldn’t send the configuration because I wasn’t at home, and worst of all, it turned out that WireGuard on ether1 also stopped working, so I couldn’t access the router ext...

Hi, I have a hAP ax3 router with firmware version 7.17 and I'm experiencing an issue. The router was configured and working fine, including WireGuard , which was functioning perfectly. Recently, I decided to switch the WAN port from ether1 to ether5 to use the 2.5Gb port for local purposes. Unfortun...
