Can't connect with winbox to MAC via WiFi

Hi!

I have plenty of Unifi Access Point in my network, that’s how I connect to my network wirelessly. There’s a DHCP server on my mikrotik which is used by both wired and those wireless devices. No special settings to separate or distinguish wired and wireless devices, I mean they share the same bridge, network segment and should look the same from mikrotik’s point of view. However, when I run winbox and go to Neighbors, I see my mikrotik only when I connected via ethernet, and the list is empty when I connect via wireless. If I try to connect via MAC manually (type the address in ‘Connect To’ field), it doesn’t work either.

How’s so?

You have something in between your router and your computer which is non-Mikrotik so that’s where you most likely need to look.
I assume it will filter out the packets needed for discovery to work.

See here for more info how this should work (L2 packets):

I have MT-APs and discovery works just fine for me on wired and wireless.

If I understand it right, MAC ‘Discovery’ isn’t equal to ‘ability to connect’ via MAC. I can disable Discovery, and still be able to connect via MAC by manually typing it in Winbox. That was just a simple example that both discovery and mac server is enabled in mikrotik. Anyway, I will check APs settings again, thanks for the heads up.
