I have the following situation: I have my MikroTik connected with an LTE router on the WAN port and my internal network is all connected to one LAN port, additionally I have a WLAN configured. DHCP Server is also running on the MikroTik. Everything behind the LAN port and every device connected via WLAN can connect to the internet without problems.
Due to the distribution of my apartment rooms I had to put my LTE router into the living room because I have the best connection there. In the same room there is also my media center. Therefore I put an additional switch behind the WAN port to connect my media center (I didn’t want a second cable running through all the rooms). The problem now is that my media center doesn’t get an IP address from the DHCP server via ethernet. What do I need to do now that this device gets an IP address and can connect to the internet?
I can’t put the MikroTik router in the living room because then my WLAN connectivity in other rooms is not good enough.
Sorry for my late answer, but I just had little time to play around with your solution. Unfortunately I can not seem to get it running. In my opinion the problem is that I just use unmanaged switches to solve the problem. Is it even possible then?
Here is an overview over my network for further explanation:
So everything connected to the LAN-Port and via WLAN on the Mikrotik is working fine but the devices “Media Center” and “Raspberry Pi” on the WAN port, which are connected via this 100Mbit Switch, are not receiving an IP address from the DHCP server and can not access the internet (only via WLAN).
