CAPsMAN - YouTube Problem (Watch YouTube on TV)

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

Hi,

I install a CAPsMAN network with “951G-2HnD” (CAPsMAN controller) (with 1x wlan controlled by “951G-2HnD - CapsMan”)
and others “RouterBOARD cAP Gi-5acD2nD” (2x wlan controlled by “951G-2HnD - CapsMan”)

When my client try to use the resource “Watch YouTube on TV” (for more information check: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/3230451?hl=en)
the celphone or laptop does not found the TV.

But, if i change the “RouterBOARD cAP Gi-5acD2nD” to Home AP and create a
local network in router mode with automatic or static WAN and creating a new local network with DHCP this function work perfectly, the Cellphone see the three TVs and also the laptop see too, and it works perfectly.

The problem, is that i want to use CAPsMAN, to expand the network easy and with multiple CAPs, anyone knows why this is happning? I dont have any idea, thanks for your help.

CAPsMAN has client-to-client forwarding disabled by default. You need to enable it in your datapath configuration.

https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:CAPsMAN#Datapath_Configuration

datapath.client-to-client-forwarding (yes | no; Default: no)
                                                         ^^

controls if client-to-client forwarding between wireless clients connected to interface should be allowed,
in local forwarding mode this function is performed by CAP, otherwise it is performed by CAPsMAN

Wireless AP has forwarding enabled by default:

https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/Wireless#General_interface_properties

default-forwarding (yes | no; Default: yes)
                                       ^^^
This is the value of forwarding for clients that do not match any entry in the access-list

That explains the difference.
