With box-1 I went with using bridge vlan filtering. I did start out with vlan-mode=use-tag vlan-id=50 on the virtual wireless interface but with bridge vlan filtering it's 'all in one place'. On box-2 the configuration has eventually ended up pretty much how you just described! Understanding the &qu...

dohmniq

A "vlan interface" can be seen as a virtual switch/bridge port which untags frames as it receives them from the bridge and tags them as it sends them to the bridge. So it is necessary for L3 access to its respective VLAN in both the "old school" and "new school" approa...

Thanks for the quick reply! how does box-2 tag and route 192.168.50.0/24 traffic to box-1? It doesn't route, it uses VLAN tags, switch makes sure packets arrive at desired destination. To make it work, VAP needs to be tagged and the trunk port towards box-2 as well (in addition to untagged). On box-...

The ISP definitely supports RFC4638 as using the TG589 for VDSL+PPPoE allows non-fragmented 1500-byte pings. (I say "ISP" but it's probably true for any ISP using OpenReach network). RouterOS allegedly has RFC4638 support since version 6.33, albeit with some bug-fixes since then! But you h...

Considering frequency allocation is a major limit on 5G, especially if you're going to use 80MHz 802.11ac channels, then adding more chains is a big plus.

I read on the forum recently that the newest version(s) of RouterOS 6.x have had some improvements to NV2, particularly with latency. Other people recommend using Nstreme instead for more consistent/lower latency.
