firewall rule (filter) issues

Greetings,

I purchased my first MikroTik (Routerboard RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN) and I am running RouterOS v. 6.5.

I am having issues with the MikroTik communicating with the internet for essential services. I thought anything originating from the MikroTik would use the chain=output.

I cannot get DNS queries, SNTP, services to function when rule # 8 is in place. I enabled a logging rule and have confirmed the services to be blocked.

I have a default deny rule which drops all traffic destine for the MikroTik (chain=input) from my WAN bridge interface.

0 ;;; Allow Ping Traceroute Traffic
chain=input action=accept protocol=icmp in-interface=BRWAN

1 ;;; allow inbound WinBox
chain=input action=accept protocol=tcp dst-port=8291

2 X ;;; Allow DNS Queries originating from MikroTik
chain=output action=accept protocol=udp dst-port=53

3 X chain=output action=accept protocol=tcp dst-port=53

7 ;;; drop all
chain=input action=log in-interface=BRWAN log-prefix=“fw-dropall”

8 chain=input action=drop in-interface=BRWAN

Any ideas? What have I done wrong?
