According to the wiki, if IGMP Snooping is Enabled on the QCA8337 (hAP ac), this should disable the hardware offload feature of the switch. However, RouterOS isn’t indicating that this is happening.
So which is it? I would like IGMP Snooping enabled, but I don’t want to sacrifice hardware offload.

So is the Wiki wrong? Or is RouterOS reporting HW Offload wrong?
Thanks!
EDIT: turns out Winbox is reporting the HW Offload feature correctly, but the CLI is not. See the two attached captures from Winbox. So it seems this might be a CLI bug.
