Re: Apple 12" MacBook (2017) to hAP ax2 via 2GHz and 5GHz drops during large data transfer

I have the same issue with cAP ax + 2017 Macbook 12". Tried all kinds of Routeros versions. No issues when restricting to ac or when using other Apple products. Wireless,debug also just says "disconnected" after 1-2 minutes. It seems like a driver crash on the Mac.

Is there another way to add a vpn server binding to the bridge or have the VPN client connections be part of the bridge?

Thanks for your feedback tslytsly. I am thinking that by some weird bug or other problem Winbox was showing me the incorrect (or old) rule order and that the rule order was indeed wrong with the masquerade rule being above src-nat.

Re: Why is only the first public IP working on my RB?

Got it. You need to have BOTH of these in the masquerade rule:

add action=masquerade chain=srcnat out-interface=ether1-gateway \
src-address=!192.168.1.2 dst-address=!192.168.1.2

I thought the NAT table also has a rule priority like the Filer list but it doesn't. Doh!
