@ Ammo, I am now using a CCR2004-16g-2s and without issue setup my BTH app on my iphone to create a wireguard BTH interface.
However same issue as previous router and firmwares, not able to create any other clients via the BTH app, as the connection from my iphone to the router is refused ( attempting to use “manage shares” )
-tried on both cellular connection only
-local WIFI connection only
Using the same BTH app and my iphone to simply connect to the server, over celluar, I can then use my iphone browser to connect to the internet provided by my router and to other devices behind the router, like a tplink switch.
I can also use the separate MT app to connect to and configure any MT device on my network.
Supout sent, and for a couple of weeks no answer yet.
I am not convinced BTH works properly in this regard, which leaves people to manually add clients.
I had to refresh myself that others can use the ip cloud bth users list to manually add folks, but I still want to be able to get this via the phone (primary client) mode working.
Also disappointed there has been little progress in improving the wireguard menus after all the work done to present better ways.
Negative, when on the primary SMARTPHONE, the one used to create a BTH interface, ( which by the way is automatically assigned 192.168.216.3 ), one opens the BTH app and selects MANAGE shares.
So on home network ( on wifi )
a. open bth app, do not select connect ( does not connect automatically on wifi )
b. select managed shares
c. enter username and password for router
d. connection refused.
Close App.
e. open app
f. this time select connect.
g. connects no problem.
h. then select manage shares
i. connection refused.
On cellular
a. open bth app,
b. app connected automatically so I then disconnected app.
c. then select managed shares
d. enter username and password for router
e. connection refused.
Close App.
f. open app
g. select connect
h. connects no problem.
i. then select manage shares
j. connection refused

In summary doesn’t matter if iphone connected via wifi or cellular I can always connect to BTH via the app but I am unable to reach Manage Shares.
Should note that the BTH subnet is an interface member of the Management Interface and also a member of the admin firewall access list. Thus there is nothing stopping the connectivity in rules.
I didnt see anywhere in documentation ( may be blind ) on how one should be connected to the router to manage shares. Clearly to create the BTH tunnel with the iphone one has to be local on wifi.
To answer your question, no I didnt try to connect to any IP address for this test. I am using the APP as described in documents.
192.168.216.3 under Winbox enter this address in IP/Services/winbox and see if that solves your connection refused issue.
I have no experience with the BTH App so the above is only a stab in the dark. I had a similar issue with Winbox and entering my specific IP address solved it so I though you might give this a try to see if it works 4 u. Some things are quirky with RouterOS7 perhaps this is one of those.
Hi Mozerd, I will try that, but that would be a work around and its not documented as a pre-requisite. As you know, leaving that particular field in IP services blank, means all are accepted. This would be a deviation from that.
”When this parameter is set, packets are not dropped at the network level, but access to the service is denied for sources not matching the specified addresses.”
I note the current document does not reflect the current RoS wording, which is “Available From” and not “address”.
Update: Adding lists of subnets with access to management of router including BTH subnet, did NOT work either.
