Re: UDP Broadcast to 255 does not work. Pls help.

That's the cause. Odd (although technically correct) behaviour of MT DHCP server is that it only returns options asked for. Other DHCP server implementations tend to include all standard options in offer and many DHCP clients tend to accept them. One of solutions would be to add to LAN another devi...

As your device answers to packets targeting address 255.255.255.255 but doesn't answer to broadcasts sent to actual broadcast address 192.168.16.255 it seems like device actually uses subnet mask /0 It works even with request to 192.168.255.255, so mask is not /0.

Re: UDP Broadcast to 255 does not work. Pls help.

The PC does it right (uses broadcast MAC as destination), so either the Mikrotik bridge fails or the device ignores the packet.
