DHCP setup

RouterOS General

I am trying to setup an RB751U running 5.25 to be a wireless hotspot, it's fighting me every step of the way. For starters, dhcp:

[admin@coldsnap.peak.org] /ip dhcp-server> /ip address print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic

ADDRESS NETWORK INTERFACE

0 ;;; default configuration
192.168.88.1/24 192.168.88.0 bridge-local
1
2 ;;; hotspot network
10.5.50.1/24 10.5.50.0 wlan1

So the wireless interface has an address, yet when I try to use the builtin setup to setup DHCP, it claims it doesn't (even though it correctly defaults to the right address), and then requires a relay which shouldn't be needed:

[admin@coldsnap.peak.org] /ip dhcp-server> setup
Select interface to run DHCP server on

dhcp server interface: wlan1
Select network for DHCP addresses

dhcp address space: 10.5.50.0/24
Select gateway for given network

gateway for dhcp network: 10.5.50.1
If this is remote network, enter address of DHCP relay

There is no such IP network on selected interface
dhcp relay:
invalid value for argument relay

What am I missing? Thanks...

You probably need to remove the wlan1 interface from the bridge. It is by default bridged to the lan switch (bridge-local). That should correct the problem with the hotspot also.
