I have a mAP lite configured extremely simply (see config below). My home network is an RB5009 main router, UniFi switches, and UniFi U7 Pro XGS APs. Everything else on my network is fine. The issue is that the mAP lite just doesn't appear on the Wi-Fi network, except from the router itself. Ping f…

Try adding an IP to the bridge, It seems like one of the cases where It Is actually needed, as the IP assigned to a port which Is part of the bridge has "less dignity" see here: L22UGS-5HaxD2HaxD Layer 3 a standalone access point starting here: L22UGS-5HaxD2HaxD Layer 3 a standalone access point…

Thanks for the suggestion. Added an IP to the bridge, made absolutely no difference. Is this something worthy of a support ticket? (I just want to make sure I’m not “holding it wrong”).

Well, now the "outward facing entity" (the bridge) has an IP address and should respond to ARP requests. In any case having the iP on the bridge is advised. Another thing that you may want to try (as it is usually advised) is to assign manually a MAC to the bridge, that would be Rule #6 : The twe…

Re. downgrading, I’ve had this mAP lite for a good few years, I just got fed up with this issue and want to see if it is solvable. I actually bought a 2nd mAP lite just for this purpose of troubleshooting! See my explanation of what I actually use this device for: The reason I don’t want wlan1 in b…

I still do not understand WHAT is that mAP doing, if you don't have an ethernet port in the same bridge as the wlan1 (this is what your configuration shows). Maybe you edited your configuration removing some parts that you don't want to show and accidentally removed the ether port assignement insid…

I apologise for the confusion. The config I posted in my OP is of a new and different mAP lite that I reset and configured from scratch – that is the TOTAL configuration. wlan1 is in the bridge because that is the default configuration from a reset ROS, I missed removing it. I’ve now taken it out (I…

Well, now you have an empty bridge. It remains unclear (to me) what a device with only one interface configured (wlan1) Is supposed to do. Imagine here a recording of the sound of one hand clapping ...

Mate I don’t know how else to explain it. I have an older device with a more complex config that works perfectly except I can’t ping it or ssh or Winbox to it from the network, only from the router (an RB5009). I’ve bought a second identical device, made the most basic config possible to prove this …

So, It Is the wlan1 (as self-standing interface) that doesn't respond to arp requests? Maybe this?: [image] ARP Request/Reply General Is there a function for the mikrotik to reply arp requests for know address (already in arp table)? HostA is ARP requesting f…
